Celebrities, common people, and members of the civic society took to the street to protest against the heinous rape and murder of an on-duty junior doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Actress Sohini Sarkar, Sudipta Chakraborty, Abhisek Roy, Swastika Mukherjee, Bidipta Chakraborty, Birsa Dasgupta, and many others walked in the protest rally on Sunday and stayed at the Esplanade dharna stage till 4 am. After Sandip Ghosh was arrested, she again took part in the junior doctors’ protest. 

The protesting doctors organised a rally to meet the Commissioner Of Police. After the police stopped them, the doctors sat on a dharna. Sohini, Sudipta, Abhisek, and others attended the protest.

Sandip Ghosh, the ex-principal of the RG Kar incident, was arrested on Monday, and charged with corruption. CBI arrested him after interrogating him for 15 days. After Sandip Ghosh’s arrest, Sohini told the media, “At least something happened. It has been the focus of our protest. But the focus must not be shifted. There are many more people like Sandip Ghosh hiding here and there. We urge the CBI to bring everything. The protest will go on till then.” 

On Monday, Sandip’s interrogation started in the morning. His statement has several discrepancies, as reported. Then, CBI’s Anti-Corruption branch suddenly went out with Sandip and took him to Nizam Palace. He was arrested there. The news came and the protesting junior doctors were overjoyed. They tagged the event as their moral victory. The junior doctors were on the street on Monday, demanding the resignation of the CP Vineet Goyal. The CP did not meet them and the protesters camped on the street.
