"Our delegation of five people who went to meet the CBI at CGO Complex yesterday, did not get any satisfactory answer even from there. Our only demand is justice. We told the CBI that the motive behind our ongoing protest is justice, which is in your hands because all of you are investigating officers. So the sooner you can tell us who were involved, we can set the direction our protest. They told us to just keep faith in them. We also asked about the time limit, the CBI said it is not possible but as soon as possible," he said, news agency ANI reported.

Dr. Kinjal also mentioned that outpatient departments (OPDs) at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital are currently not operational due to the protest, although emergency services continue to function with senior doctors attending to patients.

In related developments, a team from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) in Delhi arrived in Kolkata on Saturday to conduct a polygraph test on former RG Kar Medical College principal Sandip Ghosh, along with Sanjay Roy, the main accused, four doctors, and one volunteer.
