Manas Gumta of joint platform of doctors said that the doctors' protest will scale up further if the two doctors Kunal Sarkar and Subarna Goswami are harassed by the Kolkata Police.

After meeting Commissioner of police Vineet Goyal and additional Commissioner Murlidhar Sharma, Sarkar said that if they (police) they could have called instead of sending summons to doctors.

“We are responsible doctors of the state and we didn’t leak out anything about the victim’s identity. We said that to them. There are people inside the Lalbazar premises and the CP should look for them. We saw the autopsy report of the doctor of RG Kar and we had discussions with the forensic teams across the country. We found a few lapses and we thought of sharing certain things with the people,” said Sarkar after meeting the police.

Subarna Goswami also warned police not to send summons to doctors. “If they (police) want to discuss or talk to us they can but without summons. Like this, nobody can muffle our voices. We could have moved court against the summon but we had decided to face it. We would also like to inform certain things with the CBI,” said Goswami.
