Outlines
😢 Tragic Suicide and Subsequent Shocking Details
The script begins with the devastating news of a daughter's suicide, followed by the parents' plea to see their daughter's face, which was denied. The daughter was found naked with broken spectacles causing blood to flow from her eyes, and signs of strangulation. The incident in Kolkata has shocked the nation, with post-mortem reports revealing gruesome details of the assault. The government's handling of the case and attempts at a cover-up have angered the public, especially doctors and students. The speaker agrees with the public's demand for a detailed episode on the incident and hints at a solution to such recurring issues, despite the likelihood of the audience's reluctance to listen.
🚨 Investigation and Arrest in a Disturbing Case
The second paragraph delves into the investigation of the case, where the victim's mother was only allowed to see her daughter's body 12 hours after her death. The case sparked outrage among the public and medical community, leading to the arrest of the alleged accused, Sanjay Roy, through circumstantial evidence involving a Bluetooth device. Roy, a civic volunteer with the Kolkata police, had a history of domestic violence and was part of a racket at the hospital. His arrest and the subsequent revelation of his background intensified the public's distrust in the police and the government's handling of the case.
🤬 Public Outrage and Government Response
This paragraph discusses the public's anger and suspicion towards the initial handling of the case, with accusations of corruption and cover-up. The speaker criticizes the Mamata Banerjee government for its insensitivity and quick relocation of Dr. Sandip Ghosh, the principal of RG Kar Medical College, amidst protests. The high court's intervention, leading to the case being handed over to the CBI, is highlighted, along with the public's lack of faith in the inquiry panel set up by the government. The paragraph also touches on the nationwide protests by the medical community and the need for better security in hospitals.
📉 The Fading Outrage and Repeating Pattern
The fourth paragraph reflects on the short-lived nature of public outrage and the recurring pattern of such incidents. The speaker lists several cases from the past year where initial outrage did not translate into lasting change or justice. The paragraph criticizes the government's response to these incidents and the lack of exemplary punishment for heinous crimes. The need for a Serious Crimes Against Women Unit (SCAW) is proposed to ensure that crimes against women are handled with the necessary force and technology, and that perpetrators are not spared.
🔄 The Call for Sustained Impact and Legal Reform
The final paragraph emphasizes that the current incident should not be merely labeled as 'Nirbhaya 2,' as it would imply that no progress has been made since the Nirbhaya case. The speaker argues for sustained impact beyond temporary awareness campaigns and reiterates the need for a SCAW unit to track and punish serious crimes against women. The paragraph concludes with a call to not intellectualize the protest and a reminder that the outrage, without lasting solutions, will only shift to the next issue in a matter of days.

There were no clothes on her body. Her legs were in the right angle
The spectacles were broken, which caused blood to flow from the eyes
The neck was strangled and killed
What has happened in Kolkata, not only the medical fraternity, the whole country is shocked
The kind of details that are coming out of the post-mortem reports,
the kind of information that is coming in, how the Mamata Banerjee government handled it
what efforts were being made to cover up, obviously people, especially doctors and students are very angry,
Many subscribers wrote to us, our members wrote to us, that a detailed episode is required on this,
the game being played, is the truth being hidden?
And I totally agree with this. But is there a solution?
I want to warn you about this. We have been making episodes on such issues.
But I want to warn you about one thing... what happened in Kolkata
such incidents have happened before and will continue to happen despite our outrage.
Is there a solution? I have talked about the solution once before. Today again I will talk..
But, I guess no one would be willing to listen. But, I will try to give a solution.

If you went to hospital, or follow news, you will know the details of the case already
How a dead body of woman was found in RG Kar medical college
undressed, half-dressed body is found and doctors in our country declare war against the system
This semi nude body, I cannot show you the picture
Rules and regulations are such that I can show rapist's picture and take their names
But the woman who was killed after rape I cannot take her name legally
Postgraduate trainee PGT went to a seminar hall to rest.
She had dinner with her juniors at 2 am
After a 36-hour shift, anyone is tired and worried.
She went to the seminar room to rest.
In the morning her dead body is found
The cover up started with the first call ... it started from point zero
The first call is made to the family. The family is told that the woman died of suicide.
The story begins of rape, murder, gang rape, cover-up, political patronage
When it is revealed that it is not suicide, but murder, sexual assault, rape
Then there is autopsy. In autopsy, such disgusting details are revealed that the whole country is in shocked
How that woman was strangled to death, how she was tortured genitally,
how the thyroid cartilage was broken, how she was strangled in such a bad way
and the wound on private parts, the entire report goes up to 4 pages about how she was assaulted at around 3-5 am
Her belly, lips, fingers, left leg every part of his body was injured
Her mouth, nose was clamped and pushed against the wall so that she couldn't scream
There are scratch marks on her face and other images show how blood is coming out of her mouth and eyes
and of course, the wounds on her private parts are called perverted sexuality genital torture
When her mother reached the hospital it was told that her daughter committed suicide, and why was she not allowed to see the body?
Her mother said that she begged to let her daughter's body be seen
but she was not allowed to see her daughter's body
The mother of the victim was shown the dead body 12 hours after death.
Thankfully, people and doctors were agitated about this.
The police and administration of Kolkata were pressurized
Investigations were started. The accused was caught through a bluetooth device near the dead body
He is alleged accused, no one is believing it
Doctor fraternity is not ready to believe that Sanjay Roy is the only accused
One was arrested, maybe there is a bigger picture here
Sanjay Roy is seen in CCTV footage. He is suspiciously roaming around the seminar hall. He is seen in the Friday morning.
Police later rounded up the suspects and called them for questioning.
During the questioning, all their mobile phones were taken.
When Sanjay's mobile phone tried to connect, the Bluetooth device found near the body was immediately connected to his phone.
So, there was enough circumstantial evidence and he was arrested... Roy is an interesting character
He thought of himself as a cop, his arrogance has not gone away after arrest
He is a civic volunteer with Kolkata police.
Since he is connected to police many people think that there is attempt to cover up
Civic volunteers help police in various ways
Traffic management, disaster response, etc. They get a salary of around Rs. 12,000.
And they don't get the facilities that regular police personnel get
But see, how much reach, he had access to RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
used to roam around in all the departments.
He was part of a racket... used to charge patients for admission and collect money
Those who could not be admitted, used to get them bed in nearby clinics.
Now, his arrogance is not going anywhere it is said
He is saying that hang me if you want. A lot of pornographic material from his mobile phone was received
He is a womanizer. He has been married four times.
He has been having a disturbing and violent streak. All the marriages he had were terminated because of domestic violence.
So there is a history of physically abusing his wife.
But still he got access to the police.
Not only this, the most disgusting and shocking thing was that how the law and order is made fun of.
Whether Nirbhaya case or this Kolkata case, the accused goes home and sleeps
You do such a disgusting act, but you are so confident that you will be safe that you will go home and sleep
You not even try to run away.
So no one is afraid of the law here.... he must have thought that it is possible to get away with it, this person may have done such act before
Another reason of anger is how Mamata Banerjee government messed up the case
Insensitivity was shown, and people lost their cool
Dr Sandip Ghosh is principal of RG Kar medical college
When he was pressurized amid protests, he refused to resign.
initial statements were that she didn't need to go there. Such a bad mentality principal
When he was pressurized, he resigned with moral responsibility and then West Bengal Mamata Banerjee government within 8 hours,
you shift him to Calcutta National Medical College Hospital.
So obviously students were angered more.
Students at the other college say they won't allow this
They locked the room of Dr Sandip Ghosh and protested against the government
First you were reluctant to go from Kar hospital, and relocated in 8 hours
So obviously, the government has mercy on this man.
As a matter of fact, Akhtar Ali, the ex-deputy superintendent of RG Kar Medical College
he says that this character is a very corrupt person.
He used to fail students. He used to take 20% commission from the tender order, he used to give alcohol to students.
So he is a very dubious person.
He takes his bouncer and leaves like this. So it is very suspicious.
When such a big issue was raised, when this attempt to shift came to light,
after that Mamata Banerjee came under pressure and said, She wants death penalty for accused
she endorsed the demands made by junior doctor.
Mamata Banerjee threatened police that if they do not solve by Sunday, then the case will be given to CBI
Nobody was willing to wait till Sunday, High court slammed Dr. Sandip Ghosh that his attitude was disheartening
you were not proactive and then you take transfer in 8 hours you immediately go somewhere else after taking moral responsibility
we will relieve you from your duty go home and sit
Calcutta High Court stepped in and handled the matter to CBI immediately.
Now, there is no need for Kolkata police to intervene. The CBI will probe this matter
The question is, if the accused is already in jail, if he has been arrested,
Mamata Banerjee herself is saying that she will hand over the probe to the CBI.
So, what was the hurry to hand over to CBI? Why were not all the people believing the Kolkata police and asking for the CBI probe?
The biggest question is, what was the need to do the suicide angle from the first day, from the first hour.
Who was being tried to save by the police? This is a big reason for suspicion.
After that, this foul play, how the family was being misguided.
Now, Bengal doctors are clearly alleging that the evidence was tampered with.
Painting has started, reconstruction work has started.
Tampering with the crime scene happened
Roy was under police protection. That's why police should not investigate
He was sleeping in the police barracks after rape, so how well connected he is to police
Mamata Banerjee also set up a fraud inquiry panel of 11 members
No one trusted the inquiry panel, Neither the court nor the public
But the nationwide protests are not just because of one case It has become a trend the attacks on medical fraternity
AIMS Delhi's OPD has been in a mess recently as doctors went on strike
Solidarity has been shown in other cities too. Non-emergency services have been shut down.
Emergency services were shut down in Kolkata recently. People have faced a lot of problems.
Doctors have said that our patience has been broken.
AIIMS Delhi officials have warned resident doctors that if they protest, they may be prosecuted.
But violence against doctors is increasing. We are among the highest in the world.
China, 85% of doctors have experienced workplace violence and India has 75%
Think about it, 75% of doctors have experienced workplace violence
So, there is a need to address this problem
And what has happened in Kolkata is the worst example
That's why the IMA is saying that at least do a few things. Declare all hospitals safe zones across the country.
And to enforce safe zones, put adequate security personnel , police camps in government hospitals.
Not only that, even in big private hospitals, there should be security arrangements, CCTV cameras in vulnerable points.
In 25 states, there is a law on attack on doctors and hospitals. There is a law on paper
but no on ground impact, so there is a problem
Doctors are angry and people are shocked.
But I am sorry for my pessimism. You will beat me, I know but why I say... Why am I saying this kind of incident will repeat
This is because we have been covering such things repeatedly,
But the problem is that our outrage is only for two days.
I won't go into details. Although we can show you the history of six years on this channel.
But I will only talk about this year. And I will ask you to tell me about the status of these things.
Tell me about these things. Tell me about the updates. What action was taken?
What happened to your outrage?
Let's start with Ladakh protests. If we talk about farmer protests and demands, if we talk about MSP issue,
what happened after the electoral bond scam which was exposed in Supreme Court?
What happened with Prajwal Revanna? You made a lot of outrage in Sandeshkhali and I made an episode. What about it?
We made multiple episodes in Pune-Porsche case, police also said that they will take full action
Kota suicide which is reported every other day? what about it?
Delhi flood happened, Gurugram sank - what happened about it?
UPSC entrance scam Everyone can see clearly
how people have taken OBC certificate and disability certificate and have made most prestigious UPSC a scam
In NEET, everyone knows that paper got leaked ... what about it?
What about the recent incident of UPSC students killed in basement?
What was the action taken on that? Except you suspended a small employee of MCD.
So, the government also knows our status. We are capable of making outrage for two days and make episodes.
But ultimately, people know that CBI has come and case will be sorted.
We will be calm. But is CBI a Sherlock Holmes? Has CBI gone beyond Scotland Yard?
And we will play politics on it.
And we will say, this party is this, that party is that.
And we are playing politics on all these things.
Whereas the truth is that there is no political party in our country that can claim moral superiority over women's safety.
It is said that Kolkata was safer for women. Maybe it was in the past, but not anymore.
So, TMC is being blamed for this.
BJP doesn't need to be happy. We have been seeing reports of people getting bail.
And now, the latest Dera Chief Gurmeet Singh he got 21 days parole again.
245 days in the last 4 years, he has been out of jail.
So, when a person goes to jail for murder-rape after such a high profile case, and sometimes he comes out of jail
then what will people believe in the law? What will be the fear of the law?
And that is why I say that there is a solution. The solution is that the rapist should at least be afraid before raping.
rapist should at least not go home and sleep that nothing is going to happen to me
And just like in our country, there are financial fraud units for specialized crime and serious crime, we have ED
in the same way, to raise confidence in women and to protect the country for women,
we need a Serious Crimes Against Women Unit, SCAW, a SCAW unit
This will be that unit, like ED, this will be that unit that will handle the serious crimes against women
the shocking crimes against women will be handled by specialized unit with the necessary force, technology and time.
Remember, our outrage will be only for two days.
But this SCAW unit will catch one thing and take it to the conclusion.
And if you fall under this, your bail provision and punishment can be double or quadruple.
I am not saying that it should become a political tool like ED.
You can do transparent open and shut cases with solid proof, with public hearing.
So that the society gets a message that the government is not sleeping.
Whatever it is, if a heinous crime has happened, the government will not spare the crime of barbarism.
Exemplary punishment will be given. Problem with our legal system is that we do not believe in exemplary punishment.
And because of that, either some people get encounter killing
or the case goes on for 100 years. And that is why people are happy with encounter killing.
That we got this justice because we will not get that 100 years justice.
But for a democratic country, it is necessary that we give an exemplary punishment in a legal process in such heinous cases.
And sometimes in such heinous cases, CCTV footage is used, there is a lot of corroborative evidence
you have scientific evidence, so the case becomes even more strong.
finally, before leaving, I would like to say that the people who are trying to intellectualize the protest, should not
This is not Nirbhaya 2. As a matter of fact, if you are calling this Nirbhaya 2 in Kolkata,
then you are insulting Nirbhaya.
Because Nirbhaya has become a joke in itself that the money that was invested for women's safety, 7000 crore rupees
What happened to that money?
By saying Nirbhaya 2, one thing is understood that nothing changed after Nirbhaya
And such things are also happening: Night March will happen, Reclaim the Night will happen.
This can increase awareness. But if you want sustained impact, SCAW unit is needed
unit that will track serious crimes against women
and will not spare the perpetrators. Because our outrage will go to something else in two days.
