Kolkata Rape-Murder Case: Supreme Court Sets 5 PM Deadline in Protesting Doctors; Disheartened Doctors Speak Out

The West Bengal government threatened to take adverse action against the striking medics, but the Supreme Court ordered on Monday that they return to work by Tuesday at 5 p.m. The court issued the order following the West Bengal government's assurance that no sanctions, including punitive transfers, would be imposed on the protesting doctors should they return to work. However, the junior doctors in West Bengal have declared that they will not give up on their "stop work" in support of the raped and killed trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, even if the Supreme Court has given them until Tuesday, September 10, at 5 p.m. to resume their activities.

 

The striking doctors announced that on Tuesday at noon, they will hold a rally outside "Swasthya Bhavan," the state's health department's headquarters in Salt Lake, calling for the resignation of the director of health education and the state's health secretary.

 

The West Bengal government and the Central Bureau of Investigation, which is looking into the matter, were criticized in a statement by the IMA Bengal state section for allegedly not doing enough to protect the trainee doctor's rights and take action against the health syndicate. "We are disappointed by the court and CBI's actions. Nothing was done to ensure that our colleague received justice quickly through trial. The junior doctors leading this protest have been directed by the Hon'ble Supreme Court to return to work by 5 p.m. tomorrow. This is even more disappointing to us, the IMA stated in the statement.

 

In a Supreme Court hearing on Monday, the CBI expressed doubt regarding the postgraduate medic's forensic report and said that it would send samples to AIIMS for additional examination. As the 5 PM deadline approaches, all eyes are on the Supreme Court, with hopes that the judicial process will lead to swift and fair justice for the victim. The case has become a symbol of the fight against sexual violence in India, and its outcome is likely to have significant implications for the country's legal and social landscape.
