There was massive vandalism inside the hospital
After the disturbance inside the hospital, the pictures that have surfaced inside the hospital tell the whole story of the incident that happened at midnight. Some unknown people, who were among the people protesting outside the hospital late at night, suddenly entered inside and started creating ruckus. Angry protesters went on destroying the hospital’s doors, windows, beds, medical equipment, whatever came in sight. The part of the hospital where the incident with the lady doctor was carried out was also vandalized. Unidentified protesters also beat up the doctors of the hospital.
‘The furious crowd could not be controlled…’
Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal said, ‘The number of policemen deployed at the hospital was less, due to which the angry crowd could not be controlled. The police resorted to lathicharge and released tear gas shells to control the crowd. The police worked with full force in the rape and murder case of a female doctor, but due to continuous rumors being spread, the situation went out of control.

Vineet Goyal said, ‘Whatever has happened here has happened because of the false media campaign going on against the police, which is malicious. What has Kolkata Police not done? The police has done everything in this case. We have tried to satisfy the family but rumors are being spread. I am very angry with people’s trust. We never said that there is only one person (accused). We have said that we are waiting for scientific evidence and it takes time. Just on the basis of rumours, I cannot arrest a young PG student, it is against my conscience, there is a lot of media pressure, clearly what we did is right. Now, CBI is investigating it. There is a false propaganda that bones were broken, this was done and that was done, unfortunately, there is no scientific evidence for this.
