Overview

• The West Bengal Medical Council suspended Sen on July 3 for allegedly listing the FRCP (Glasgow) fellowship on his letterhead without formal registration under state rules.
• The two-year order removes his name from the register of practitioners and bars him from using the title “Dr” or issuing prescriptions.
• Sen asserts that he deposited the Rs 10,000 fee and submitted all required documents for FRCP registration but received no response from the council.
• He alleges the sanction is a political vendetta by a council led by a TMC legislator after his criticism of the party’s handling of an R.G. Kar hospital rape-murder case.
• Justice Amrita Sinha granted Sen leave to file a petition contesting the suspension and admitted the matter for further hearing.
