The Supreme Court on Tuesday requested the protesting doctors to end their strike; however, the medics have decided against calling off their indefinite strike over the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The doctors of RG Kar stated that they will continue their strike until the Supreme Court pronounces its verdict on Thursday. The doctors will also hold a protest march on Wednesday from RG Kar to Sashthya Bhawan.
Tech professionals in Kolkata have also joined the RG Kar medics in protest, with hundreds of IT professionals participating in a rally in Salt Lake Sector 5 on the outskirts of Kolkata on Tuesday.
Engineers in Kolkata have also shown their support for the RG Kar doctors and have planned a demonstration at 3 pm on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the CBI on Tuesday grilled a “close acquaintance” of the prime accused for the second successive day to get to the bottom of the motive for the crime.
