The Indian Medical Association (IMA) has suspended the membership of Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, following a request from the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA). The suspension comes in the wake of the rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor at the state-run hospital on August 9, which has led to widespread protests across the country.
In an official statement, the IMA’s disciplinary committee, led by National President Dr. RV Asokan, announced that it had decided to suspend Ghosh's membership after considering the gravity of the incident and the subsequent developments at RG Kar Medical College.
"The disciplinary committee of IMA HQs has unanimously decided to suspend the membership of Dr. Sandip Ghosh, vice president of the IMA Calcutta branch," the statement read.
The tragic incident occurred when the trainee doctor went to rest in the seminar hall after her 36-hour long shift. The following day, civic volunteer Sanjay Roy was arrested after CCTV footage revealed him entering the seminar hall at 4:03 am on August 9, the day of the incident.
