The governing body meeting of the doctors, started at 6:30 pm said one of the protesting doctors. “We are holding this meeting to decide on whether to continue with our ‘cease work’, as some of our demands have been fulfilled by the state government,” he said to news agency PTI.
Meanwhile, noting the Supreme Court has seen the CBI’s status report on its investigation into the RG Kar case, Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud remarked, “We have looked at the status report of CBI. Making a disclosure today about what CBI is doing will jeopardise the course of the investigation….You understand why we cannot also disclose the lines of the further investigation that CBI is conducting.”
