The brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College has sparked a nationwide strike by doctors and fierce protests. The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has called for a 24-hour strike starting Saturday, demanding better security for medical professionals. The BJP has sharply criticized the West Bengal government, with leaders like Smriti Irani and Sukanta Majumdar accusing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of attempting to suppress the case. Protests led by the BJP intensified as the CBI summoned four doctors in connection with the case.
