KOLKATA: Bengal police Sunday lodged FIR against three doctors,, Birupaksha Biswas, Aveek De and Ranjit Saha – all linked to ‘North Bengal lobby‘ and close aides of former RG Kar principal Sandip Ghosh following physical and email complaints of intimation by 31 junior doctors of Calcutta Medical College and Hospital. Police compiled all complaints into one FIR and registered a case under BNS section 351 (assault as making a gesture or preparation that causes someone to believe that they are about to be subjected to criminal force).Investigation has started, police said.
Last week, the state health department had suspended De and Biswas. Their names appeared in ‘health syndicate’ posters. The suspension is result of allegations including misconduct and unauthorized presence at RG Kar Medical College. Anjan Mandal and 30 junior doctors alleged the accused doctors had been threatening and intimidating them, police said. “The junior doctors were coming to the station to file complaints for the past few days. All complaints name the three doctors as accused. They alleged the doctors issued threats, though the nature and manner of the threats are unclear,” said an officer.
De is the man in red-T shirt at the RG Kar crime scene who Kolkata Police touted as a fingerprint expert, which IMA-Bengal challenged. He used to work as RMO in Burdwan Medical College and is now a first-year surgery PGT at IPGMER. Biswas, a senior resident doctor of pathology, was also present at RG Kar on Aug 9, and had no locus standi to be present there. Audio clips where he is heard threatening other students and junior doctors have gone viral even as Biswas had dismissed those as AI-generated.
