The principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Sandip Ghosh, has resigned amid a protest in the wake of the rape and murder of a second-year PGT doctor in West Bengal.
While announcing his resignation, Ghosh appealed to the protesting medical students and house staff to withdraw their demonstrations and resume normal operations at the hospital premises. He claimed that he had been a victim of a political conspiracy draughted by his rival group.
However, the protesters are adamant about continuing with their agitation until their four-point demands are met. Earlier, Bengal Police arrested a civic volunteer in connection with the tragedy for further investigation.
The state health department has already announced the transfer of the erstwhile medical superintendent and vice principal of the college, Dr. Sanjay Vashisth.
