Kolkata: As the nation reels from the shocking rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College, TMC MP Mahua Moitra has called on protesting doctors to return to work. The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear the case today, with a three-judge bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud set to oversee the proceedings.
Hours before the Supreme Court hearing, Moitra took to X (formerly Twitter) to urge doctors to end their strike, which has now entered its second week. "Genuine concerns about women’s safety in the workplace need citizens speaking out," Moitra tweeted. However, she criticized the opposition, stating, "The BJP's playbook on misinformation and how to destabilize isn’t going to work." She further emphasized the plight of patients, adding, "Poor patients are suffering—urging doctors to please resume duties."
Genuine concerns about women’s safety in the workplace need citizens speaking out. But BJP playbook on misinformation & how to destabilise @MamataOfficial isn’t going to work.

Poor patients are suffering - urging doctors to please resume duties.
In another post, Moitra addressed misinformation circulating around the autopsy report. She clarified that the report, conducted in the presence of a judicial magistrate and three doctors, found "NO fracture to the pelvic girdle or other bones." She also explained that the 150 gm mentioned in the report referred to the weight of the genitalia, not an "imaginary amount of fluid," and that the findings did "NOT suggest multiple assailants." Moitra urged the public to avoid spreading fake news that could further inflame the situation.

1. Show NO fracture to pelvic girdle or other bones
2. 150 gm refer to weight of inner & outer genitalia NOT to imaginary amount of fluid
3. Does NOT suggest multiple assailants
Do NOT spread fake news please.
Writ filed in Kolkata HC by mischievous politician lawyers has WRONG info:
— Mahua Moitra (@MahuaMoitra) August 20, 2024
1. NO hurried cremation. Police escorted body home to Sodepur where family did cremation
2. NO broken bones. Autopsy does not mention fracture
3. NO “150gm semen”. That was weight of genitalia
The brutal crime at RG Kar Medical College has sparked nationwide protests, with doctors demanding that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) arrest all those involved and ensure they receive the maximum punishment. The ongoing strike has severely impacted healthcare services, leaving thousands of patients without critical care.
As the Supreme Court takes up the case, all eyes are on the judicial proceedings, with the public hoping for swift and just action against the perpetrators.
