Kolkata Doctor’s Rape-Murder Sparks Controversy Over Evidence Tampering

A political controversy has erupted in Kolkata over the rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor at RG Kar Medical College. The Kolkata Police arrested a civic volunteer, Sanjoy Roy, but concerns over evidence tampering arose after renovation work began near the crime scene. Left-wing groups and the BJP accused hospital authorities of trying to destroy evidence. The Calcutta High Court ordered a CBI investigation, with a team already in Kolkata. Nationwide protests by doctors have followed, demanding justice for the victim.
