West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Trinamool Congress are intensifying their response to ongoing protests, targeting demonstrators and doctors. Protests over the rape-murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College have persisted for over a month. Banerjee, initially supporting protests, now accuses them of causing public inconvenience and blames striking doctors for patient deaths at government hospitals. The Trinamool Congress has shared videos alleging neglect by doctors. Amid mounting public anger and internal party dissent, including Rajya Sabha MP Jawhar Sircar's resignation, Banerjee is facing significant political pressure.

The Enforcement Directorate (ED) is investigating multiple properties owned by Dr. Sandip Ghosh, former Principal of RG Kar Medical College, and his wife Sangeeta. The probe focuses on three flats, two houses, and a farmhouse in Kolkata, plus another flat in Murshidabad. The ED suspects these assets were acquired with proceeds from crime, following the rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor in August. Documents indicate Sangeeta Ghosh purchased properties without proper approval, which was later granted by Sandip Ghosh. The investigation is part of a broader corruption inquiry linked to the hospital's response to the incident.

Junior doctors in Kolkata are demanding a 30-member delegation and live telecast for a meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee regarding the rape and murder case of a junior doctor from RG Kar Medical College.

Despite a Supreme Court order to resume work, they remain on strike, demanding justice for the victim and the resignation of the state health secretary. The West Bengal government has invited the doctors for further discussions to resolve the impasse.

Three days before Prime Minister Modi's visit to Doda, Indian security forces killed two terrorists in a gunfight at the Udhampur-Kathua border in Jammu and Kashmir.

The Rising Star Corps confirmed the operation on X, and searches are ongoing for more suspected terrorists. This brings the total number of terrorists killed in Jammu this year to 10. A BSF jawan was also injured in Pakistan's unprovoked firing in Akhnoor, just days before the Jammu and Kashmir assembly elections.

Additionally, those already under public health schemes can opt to stay or switch to AB PM-JAY. Announced by Prime Minister Modi, this initiative is aimed at enhancing geriatric care across the country. Eligible seniors will also receive a special AB PM-JAY card to access the scheme's benefits.

The standoff between protesting junior doctors and the Mamata Banerjee government in West Bengal continued as both sides failed to reach an agreement after a series of dramatic email exchanges. The doctors, demanding justice for the RG Kar rape-murder case, set conditions for the meeting, including a face-to-face discussion with the chief minister and a larger delegation. The state government rejected these demands, with Chief Secretary Manoj Pant stating that talks cannot proceed under such conditions. The doctors, sitting in protest for over 24 hours, expressed disappointment with the government's stance.

In the ongoing protest over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College, Kolkata, doctors have rejected a West Bengal government invitation.

Chief Secretary Manoj Pant urged doctors to resume duties, highlighting patient inconvenience and non-compliance with a Supreme Court deadline.

The West Bengal government invited a 12-15 member delegation for talks, but the doctors rejected an earlier meeting with the health secretary, demanding his resignation. The BJP criticized Banerjee for avoiding direct dialogue with the doctors.
