NEW DELHI: A suspicious bag was found at empty agitation site of the junior doctors in Kolkata's RG Kar Medical Hospital and College.
According to the authorities, a bomb disposal squad arrived at the scene and the security forces have cordoned off the area.
Meanwhile, Junior doctors continued their sit-in outside the West Bengal Health Department 's office as well as their 'cease work' over the alleged rape and murder of a young medic at capital's hospital.
A large number of police personnel have been deployed in and around ' Swathya Bhavan ' at Salt Lake, and traffic movement was regulated.
The state government had invited the agitating doctors to a meeting at state secretariat Nabanna at 6 pm on Wednesday, but the invitation did not confirm whether Banerjee would attend it.
The protests began after the body of the postgraduate trainee was found with severe injury marks at RG Kar hospital on August 9. The CBI is conducting a probe upon directions of the Calcutta High Court.
The junior doctors have since been demanding justice for the woman doctor, along with enhanced security measures for women health professionals, besides the suspension of several officials, including the Kolkata Police Commissioner and the state health secretary, for alleged mishandling of the case.
