  • Kolkata: Two interns— residing in the RG Kar Hostel— have alleged that their room was vandalized on Friday night. Based on the complaint, Kolkata Police has registered a case at Tala PS and is investigating the case. An individual, who was leading the protest against the rape and murder incident, has alleged that the interns were not in their room when the incident occurred.There are also allegations that one of the interns was assaulted by other hosteliers.

    “The interns came back on Sunday and found out about the vandalism. Claims that they were roughed up are false. They both said at one point that they were close to former RG Kar principal Sandip Ghosh and a student union leader, who is a politically influential person. We are not sure who is behind the incident, but it seems that this is an attempt to destabilize the protest at a time when CISF has taken over the security on the RG Kar Campus. However, it is most likely that someone from the inside is involved,” said a second year PGT student and a resident of the same hostel.

    “On the basis of a complaint of one of the trainee doctors against some fellow doctors for ransacking his hostel room at RG Kar, a case has been started under sections of 299, 305, 324, 351, 329 and 54 of the BNS Act,” said additional CP (I) Mulidhar Sharma.
