The CBI may conduct a polygraph test on the former principal of R.G. Kar Medical College following the alleged rape and murder of a woman doctor at the hospital. This comes as protests continue across India, with students at the college expressing trauma over the mob violence that took place on August 15. In response to the vandalism, the Kolkata Police suspended three officers, including two assistant police commissioners, who were involved in the incident. The mob reportedly entered the hospital, damaging the emergency department, nursing station, and medicine store. The Supreme Court has stressed the urgent need for stronger safety laws to prevent such incidents in the future. Investigations are ongoing.
