RG Kar victim's family demands life term as bail granted to ex-principal

The family of the victim in the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital case has intensified calls for severe punishment against the former principal, questioning the decision to grant him bail. The victim's parents stated that anything short of a life sentence would be inadequate given the gravity of the crime and its impact on their daughter.

Their statement reflects growing frustration among supporters of the victim over the pace and direction of the judicial process. The case, which sparked widespread outrage across India's medical and legal communities, has become a flashpoint in discussions around workplace safety and institutional accountability in healthcare settings.

Citizen groups have mobilized to keep public pressure on authorities to ensure stringent prosecution. Organizations including 'Voice of Abhaya' and 'Voice of Women' have announced a march scheduled for November 12, which will commence from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The demonstration aims to reinforce demands for justice and systemic reforms within medical institutions.

The bail decision has drawn criticism from activists and legal experts who argue it undermines the seriousness of the charges and the need for institutional accountability. The case continues to dominate public discourse as it moves through the court system.
