In Kolkata, a mob stormed RG Kar Medical College and Hospital early Thursday, vandalizing property and assaulting doctors protesting the rape and murder of a fellow doctor. Eyewitness Anupam Roy reported the attack was a deliberate attempt to break the protest. Despite the presence of police, security was reportedly insufficient, and calls for additional support went unanswered. The mob damaged the emergency ward, medical store, and CCTV cameras. Trinamool Congress MP Abhishek Banerjee has demanded the identification and arrest of the perpetrators. The CBI has since taken over the investigation.
