RG Kar Hospital junior doctor heading agitation faces probe by Bengal govt

The West Bengal Medical Council has asked Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital to state whether Kinjal Nanda, one of the prominent faces of the movement following the August 9, 2024, rape and murder of a post-graduate trainee doctor on campus, has been skipping classes and duty, officials said.

“The Council has sent a letter to the hospital asking the administration to state in seven days whether Nanda’s attendance at classes and the hospital wards met the mandatory requirement of 80% and whether he frequently took leave,” a health department official said, requesting anonymity.
