Doctors are angry over the rape and murder of a female trainee doctor in Kolkata. Meanwhile, the central government has come into alert mode regarding the safety of doctors and has issued guidelines to health institutions. The Health Ministry said that if there is an attack or violence on doctors, then within 6 hours the institutions will have to file an FIR against the concerned person.
According to the Health Ministry, strict action will be taken in cases of attack on doctors and FIR will be registered within 6 hours. The Health Ministry has sent a memo to all health institutions. It states that in case of violence on any doctor, FIR should be registered within 6 hours of the incident. The responsibility for this will be of the head of the institution.
The body of a 31-year-old female trainee doctor was found on the night of 9 August at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The incident took place in the seminar hall. There were injury marks on the body and blood was flowing. Investigation revealed that the doctor was raped and then murdered. The police arrested the accused Sanjay Roy and sent him to jail. However, the possibility of many people being involved in this incident has not been ruled out.
After the incident, doctors raised questions about security and started a strike. The High Court handed over the investigation of the case to the CBI. Doctors say that our security should be given priority and the Central Protection Act should be implemented. In this regard, the doctors’ organization also met Union Health Minister JP Nadda.
CBI also summoned 4 doctors
The CBI has summoned four trainee doctors of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital for questioning on Friday.
