Evidence Tampering Feared in Kolkata Doctor's Death Case

The West Bengal Doctors' Forum has alerted the CBI about potential evidence tampering at the site where a female doctor's body was found. The ongoing construction work at RG Kar Medical College has raised concerns about sabotaging the investigation. A cease work has been called by local doctors, affecting healthcare services.

The West Bengal Doctors' Forum has raised alarms over suspected evidence tampering relating to the death of a female doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College. The forum has formally approached the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to address the issue.

The body of the post-graduate trainee, bearing severe injuries, was located in the seminar hall of the hospital’s chest department last Friday. Preliminary autopsy findings indicated the doctor was subjected to a violent sexual assault.

Reports have emerged of construction activities near the crime scene, triggering apprehensions of potential evidence tampering. The forum has communicated these concerns to the state health secretary, imploring the CBI to investigate thoroughly to ensure justice for the deceased doctor.

On a related note, the West Bengal Joint Platform of Doctors announced a strike, scheduled to affect outpatient services across public and private hospitals. The agitation has already significantly impacted the state's healthcare system, disrupting even emergency services in several government-run hospitals.
