Kolkata: After a violent mob vandalised vehicles, the protest site and the building of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, a final year MBBS student from Kolkata Anupam Roy, on Thursday, accused the mob of deliberately vandalising the crime spot and sought the support of the public for extending support to ensure a secured environment for doctors.
” Yesterday we were having a peaceful protest, we had planned to arrange a rally of female nurses, doctors and students. When we were getting ready to start the rally, a huge mob came. We requested them to continue their rally and not try to interfere here as there are female protestors.
Then the mob tried to get into our protest, shockingly there used to be a lot of police when protests used to happen but when the mob arrived, there was a very small number of police personnel present at the spot.’ the final year MBB -S student said.
On Wednesday night, a mob entered the RG Kar hospital campus and vandalised the protesting site, vehicles, and public property, forcing security officials to disperse the mob.
He further stated “When the mob entered we took our female protestors to the medical college. We were continuously requesting the mob to not enter here. We requested police to deploy more force. We called DC but he did not pick up the phone. Police were silent saying that they had no orders”.
“For the protection we are fighting for was not there. we were even unprotected during the movement. An outside mob attacked us during the movement. State government and police should take responsibility for this” he added.
He stated “When the mob entered we ran to look for the safe places to hide. The mob vandalised everything. They did not stop there. The mob went to the crime spot.
