Kolkata:

Three days and a midnight massacre at her Emergency Department later, RG Kar Hospital’s new principal Suhrita Pal lost her cool with the students today. 

As protesting doctors demanded that she take immediate action regarding the midnight mob attack and meet the students’ demands, Ms Pal said, “If you can’t trust me for one hour then send me home also”. 

The reference was to her predecessor Sandip Ghosh, who has been sent on a long leave by the High Court which was furious over his new posting less than 12 hours after his resignation.

“I need one hour to do some official work. You need to believe me, I won’t go. You have to believe me. If you can’t believe me then don’t expect anything from me,” Suhrita Pal said.
