Kolkata Police have confirmed the arrest of 19 individuals linked to the vandalism and violence that erupted at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. According to officials, these suspects have been remanded to police custody until August 22.
The incident unfolded during midnight protests held by women throughout West Bengal, reacting to the alleged rape and murder of a doctor, which reportedly took place in the hospital’s seminar hall on August 9. The unrest resulted in significant damage to critical areas of the hospital, including the emergency ward, nursing station, medicine store, and parts of the outpatient department.
