NDTV
The doctors' body has pointed to the CBI's fresh arrests in evidence tampering case and said these developments increase the significance of transparency.
Junior doctors protesting in Kolkata over the rape-murder of a 31-year-old doctor have responded to the Mamata Banerjee government's "fifth and final" invitation for talks. In their response, the West Bengal Junior Doctors Front has pointed to the CBI's fresh arrests in an evidence tampering case and said these developments increase the significance of transparency.
Bengal Chief Secretary Manoj Pant's email to the doctors earlier this day invited them for talks at 5 pm at the Chief Minister's residence in south Kolkata's Kalighat. The junior doctors said they were "more than willing" to join the meeting, but would have preferred an "official and administrative place" as the venue.
The junior doctors pointed to the fresh charge of evidence tampering against Dr Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, where the incident took place. The officer-in-charge of Tala police station, Abhijit Mondal, has been arrested in this connection too.
