The West Bengal Joint Platform of Doctors (WBJPD) has announced plans for a 10-day sit-in demonstration in central Kolkata, beginning on Tuesday. This protest stems from the CBI’s ongoing investigation into the rape and murder case of a female doctor at Kar Medical College and Hospital, where two key suspects were granted bail.

The WBJPD, an umbrella organisation of five prominent medical associations, will stage the protest at Doreena Crossing, Kolkata, until December 26. The doctors are demanding a thorough investigation, with the immediate submission of a supplementary chargesheet by the CBI.
