No let-up in protests over Kolkata rape, Centre orders to enhance security deployment at its hospitals
NEW DELHI/KOLKATA: There was no let-up in nationwide protests on Monday by junior doctors over the alleged rape and murder of a medic in Kolkata, even as the Union health ministry approved 25 per cent enhancement in security deployment at central hospitals.
The CBI, probing the case, has been granted permission to conduct a polygraph test on the accused, a civic volunteer.
In Kolkata, the protests escalated as senior doctors Kunal Sarkar and Subarna Goswami, who had posted about the incident on social media, appeared before police after leading a march of hundreds of healthcare professionals from Calcutta Medical College to Kolkata Police headquarters.
