The sudden and mysterious death of a post-graduate trainee doctor at a government-run hospital in Kolkata has sparked an intense investigation. The semi-nude body was found in the seminar hall, and injury marks were evident, leading to suspicions of foul play.

The deceased, a second-year student of the chest medicine department at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, had been on duty the previous night and was last seen entering the seminar room. Law enforcement and hospital authorities are scrutinizing the incident, and a three-member panel has been formed for the internal probe.

Controversially, there are allegations from the Association of Health Service Doctors that facts are being suppressed to misrepresent the incident as a suicide. Further demands have been made for an independent post-mortem examination and the removal of the medical college's principal.
