‘So gruesome’: Calcutta high court on Kolkata doctor rape-murder

The Calcutta high court on Tuesday observed that the rape and murder of a doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College was “so gruesome”. Hearing a clutch of petitions on the incident, which has triggered outrage across the nation, the court said protesting doctors were justified in expressing their emotions.

“We cannot gag the press…what assurance are you (State) giving to doctors? They are hurt. The incident is so gruesome. They (doctors) are justified in expressing their emotions,” the court said, per Bar and Bench.

The court has directed the former principal of the hospital, Dr Sandip Ghosh, to go on a long leave.

“We want to see the Principal’s resignation letter…we want to read it…ask him to send a picture. Produce it,” the bench said.
