The West Bengal Medical Council has revoked the medical registration of the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, following his arrest by the CBI for alleged financial irregularities and involvement in evidence tampering related to a trainee doctor's rape and murder case. His license was canceled under various provisions of the Bengal Medical Act of 1914, barring him from practicing as an orthopedic surgeon. While some doctors hailed the decision as a "victory" for their deceased colleague, the West Bengal Doctors' Forum criticized it as an "eyewash," claiming procedural lapses in the decision-making process. They argued that the cancellation was not legally valid due to the absence of a quorum in the council meeting required for such a decision.
