Times of India | 2 September 2024
Kolkata: The act of ostracising doctors, who are allegedly members of the ‘North Bengal lobby’, has reached another medical college campus. The axe fell on three faculty members of Medical College Kolkata on Sunday when the Medical College Ex-students’ Association (MCESA) decided to expel them from the membership of the association. The move comes a day after the RG Kar Ex-students Association expelled MLA Sudpto Roy, chairman Rogi Kalyan Samity of the hospital, from its life membership.
Doctors Suhena Sarkar, Manab Nandy and Tapan Naskar, who are now attached with MCH and also alumni of the institute, have been expelled from the membership of MCESA.The decision was taken during a general body meeting of the association on the college campus.
The three have already been barred from academic activities and student affairs by the college council after it found truth in a complaint of intimidation by a female student of the college. Sources indicated that ex-students’ associations of other medical colleges are likely to take similar action against those who are being named in the syndicate.
