The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has arrested Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College, and Abhijit Mondal, the officer-in-charge of Tala Police Station, in connection with the rape and murder case of a trainee doctor in Kolkata. The arrests come amidst ongoing protests by doctors demanding transparency and accountability in the case, which have been ongoing for 34 days. Political analysts and opposition leaders have criticized West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her delayed response to the doctors' protests and the handling of the case. Mamata Banerjee has accepted the protestors' demands that meetings be signed by the Chief Secretary. The CBI's actions have been seen as a significant development in the investigation, which many believe was previously hindered by a cover-up. The protests are also associated with the 'Justice for Abhaya' movement.
