Doctors at RG Kar Allege Evidence Tampering in Medic’s Rape-Murder CaseSenior doctors of RG Kar Medical College on
Monday alleged tampering of evidence in the Kolkata doctor rape and murder
case. Addressing a press conference here, they reiterated their demand for a
live streaming of the meeting between them and the West Bengal government.

“We condemn all such heinous crimes.
This crime is a fallout of the nexus between West Bengal government and health
department officials,” said one of the doctors. The doctors alleged there
was “tampering of evidence”. The West Bengal government on Monday
“for the fifth and the final time” invited the protesting junior
doctors for talks to end the RG Kar impasse, two days after the dialogue failed
to take off over disagreement on live-streaming of the meeting.
