Horror gripped Nadia district as the putrefied remains of Pulak Halder, an MBBS final-year student, surfaced from his sealed hostel room at Kalyani’s JL Nehru Memorial Hospital. With injury-laden body in plain view, relatives cry conspiracy, branding it cold-blooded murder.
Sudhanshu Halder’s voice trembled with rage: ‘Cuts on face and belly—clear signs of assault. Shun any natural death narrative. Probe deep, unlike RG Kar’s farce.’ The 2024 scandal looms large, stoking distrust.
Pulak’s trail ends February 20: canteen-bound, then gone. No exits, no witnesses. Thursday’s stench forced entry, unveiling the macabre discovery.
Uttam Mandal, family member, lauded the victim’s virtues—top grades, kind heart—before decrying: ‘Attack inevitable. Justice must prevail.’ Last contact: a February 20 call.
Whispers of intimidation from protest-era clashes and college woes persist, unproven. Postmortem Friday promises revelations.
Bengal’s medical ecosystem braces for fallout, as this death spotlights persistent perils for student-doctors. Demands echo for rigorous inquiry, ensuring Pulak’s case doesn’t dissolve into obscurity like predecessors. The quest for truth begins now.
