Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], September 15 (ANI): The officer-in-charge of Tala police station Abhijit Mondal, who was arrested by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Saturday, was brought to BR Singh Hospital in Kolkata for a medical test.
Abhijit Mondal, along with Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital were arrested by the CBI in connection with the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata.
Meanwhile, junior doctors protesting at the Swasthya Bhavan celebrated the arrest and could be seen singing at the protest site.
Speaking about the arrests, a junior doctor told ANI, “We have been demanding the arrest of the former principal of the college, Sandip Ghosh and Abhijit Mondal, officer-in-charge of Tala police station, for their involvement in tampering with the evidence. We are very happy as the CBI has arrested them. The CBI should arrest others who have tampered with the evidence.”
Earlier, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said that the request for ‘live streaming’ of her meeting with the protesting doctors could not be met due to the ongoing legal proceedings of the RG Kar Medical College Hospital rape and murder case in the Supreme Court.
The West Bengal Chief Minister further requested the doctors to cooperate and assured them of providing them with a recording of the meeting.
“I assure you that whatever recording will be done, it will be given to you. Accept my request and join the meeting. If you people do not want to come to the meeting, then please come inside the residence, have tea and then proceed to leave,” said Banerjee.
The second-year postgraduate medical student was raped and murdered inside the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College on August 9. (ANI)
