The Calcutta High Court has directed the West Bengal government to respond to allegations of a prevailing "threat culture" in different medical colleges and hospitals in the state.
A division bench also observed that if the allegations of such a "threat culture" going on in medical colleges, where the junior doctors are becoming the victims, is true, then, the matter is quite serious.
The direction came on a PIL where the petitioner requested the court for a direction for investigation in the matter by a committee headed by any retired judge of the Calcutta High Court.
