The Joint Platform of Doctors, West Bengal, an advocacy group of medical practitioners, wrote a letter to Kolkata Police Commissioner Manoj Kumar Verma on Sunday (August 31, 2025), demanding “immediate dismissal of vindictive cases against doctors” in connection with the ongoing protests against the rape and murder at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital (RGKMCH) in the city last year.
“[We] feel shockingly dumbfounded with the deepest sense of dismay in connection with the battery of sordid, domineering course of recent actions from the end of Kolkata Police against the doctors and a section of protesting voices across the society,” the letter reads.
