- Bhowanipore police recorded the survivor’s statement and arrested accused Amit Mallick on Wednesday before producing him in court on Thursday.
- In court, the prosecution cited CCTV showing the accused escorting the girl to the washroom and sought permission to record his confidential statement.

- The case has drawn condemnation from doctors’ groups, which called for comprehensive security audits across state-run medical facilities.
