Kolkata: An enquiry committee at RG Kar Medical College & Hospital started a probe against 34 junior doctors and 17 students against whom the Resident Doctors’ Association of the college had complained of intimidating other students and junior doctors. TOI had reported about the summons on them on Wednesday.
“Most of the 51 appeared before the enquiry committee and were told to defend themselves against the charges.This was only the preliminary round of the probe,” said an official at RG Kar.
Sources said all 51 are close to Avik De, Birupaksha Biswas and Sandip Ghosh. Fourteen of the 51 were named in the FIR of ragging in Manicktala Boys’ Hostel last Sept. All 51 had protested against Ghosh’s transfer to Murshidabad Medical College and prevented Manas Bandyopadhyay from taking charge last Sept. The 51 have been barred from entering the college till the panel findings are submitted to the college council and it decides their fate.
