Protests Erupt in Kolkata After Bail Granted in RG Kar Rape-Murder Case

Outrage builds as CBI fails to file chargesheet in the 90-day period, raising questions about political interference and justice delays.

Former RG Kar Medical College principal Sandip Ghosh and ex-Tala Police Station officer Abhijit Mondal were granted bail after the CBI missed the 90-day deadline to file a chargesheet.
The suspects are accused of tampering with evidence and facilitating the hasty cremation of the 31-year-old trainee doctor, who was raped and murdered on August 9 at the hospital premises.
Protests led by junior doctors, political parties, and citizens have spread across Kolkata, demanding accountability from the CBI and the state government.
The victim's family has accused authorities of failing to deliver justice, while doctors' associations have alleged a nexus between the state government, police, and the CBI to shield the accused.
Political groups, including the Congress and Left parties, have staged rallies, criticizing both the ruling TMC and the BJP-led central government for their alleged inaction and complicity.
