On August 9th, the tragic incident of a trainee doctor's murder in the R.G. Kar Medical College Hospital created a nationwide stir. Following the incident, Professor Sandip Ghosh resigned from his position as the principal. However, within hours, he was appointed to another key position by the Mamata Banerjee government. The Kolkata High Court, which is probing the trainee doctor's murder case, directed the government to send Professor Ghosh on leave.
