Kolkata/IBNS: A massive vandalism has been reported from Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital amid a major people's night protest over the rape and murder of a post-graduate trainee doctor at the same hospital.

According to local media, the Emergency department of the hospital was ransacked.

Some miscreants suddenly entered the Emergency building and resorted to violence, as per local media reports.

The agitating doctors had to flee owing to the sudden clashes. Media personnel were attacked.

The miscreants vandalised the stage where the protest was taking place. They even overturned the police vehicles.

Some police personnel also recieved injuries. The police had to resort to using tear gas to disperse off the crowd.

The situation turned grim amid the massive protest organised called 'Relcaim The Night' to seek justice over the rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee lady doctor at Kolkata's state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital and its alleged cover-up that triggered a tsunami of anger against the authorities.

Women and men across West Bengal took to the streets on the eve of Independence Day.
