Junior doctors protesting August's rape and murder at Kolkata's RG Kar Hospital are on a fast-unto-death, setting up another potential face-off with Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. Six people are on a hunger strike and this will continue for an "indefinite period (till) we get justice", they said last night.
They will be joined this week by colleagues from Delhi's All India Institute of Medical Sciences, who said they will hold a candlelight protest at the city's JLN Auditorium on Wednesday evening.
