West Bengal

The Supreme Court urged the striking doctors in West Bengal to resume their duties by 5 PM on Tuesday and warned that if the boycott continues, it may order disciplinary action against them. Kapil Sibal, representing the state, assured the court that no punitive action would be taken against the doctors if they returned to work.

BJP MP Jyotirmay Singh Mahato urged the ED to investigate Mamata Banerjee's involvement in the alleged health scam in the state given the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata.

A special POCSO court in West Bengal’s Siliguri on 7 September sentenced one Md Abbas to death for rape and murder of a minor girl last year.

As per reports, the Police found the minor victim in a semi-nude state.

The letter was written by Sandip Ghosh to Public Works Department (PWD) on 10th August, a day after the gruesome crime.

The seeming inevitability of it getting struck down in a court of law alludes that it could merely be an act to pander to the gallery rather than a true pursuit to seek Justice for women and set a deterrence against heinous crimes.

According to the plea by the Centre government, the Bengal government’s non-cooperation with CISF stationed at RG Kar Hospital is "unpardonable" and "symptomatic of a systemic malaise".

The anti-rape Bill can be seen as an attempt to divert the anger of the people against the TMC government. While introducing the bill, CM Banerjee explained that the Bill further tightens the provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act and prescribes the death penalty for rapists if their acts result in the death of the victim or they suffer severe brain damage.
