Court reads complaint by women doctors who were threatened of rape. CJI: This is a very serious issue Mr. Sibal ... 37 were arrested.. and they were recognized from the CCTV footage. West Bengal government could not have been unaware of the fact that when there are those protests, there will always be another segment that will come and disrupt it. Women doctors are assaulted, the police run away from the scene. Thereafter women doctors are called out by name, the people leading the protests, and they are threatened with the same fate that has befallen the other (deceased victim) ... What was the police force doing in anticipation? Sibal: There were 150 policeman, outside the hospital, in anticipation. But 7000 people came, by the the time we got additional forces, this vandalism took place ... CJI: It doesn't appear 7000 people vandalised the place. 80-90 people maximum, they indulged in vandalism.
