very sad to hear about the ill treatment meted out to a senior psychiatrist in Kolkata. police should have conducted a thorough investigation before leveling baseless allegations like this. if the patient has indeed been beaten by someone in the nursing home, the ward boys and other staff should have been questioned. even the patients visitors can't be given a clean chit without a thorough investigation and scrutiny of cctv footage. if there is any negligence on the doctors part it may be that he ...

very sad to hear about the ill treatment meted out to a senior psychiatrist in Kolkata. police should have conducted a thorough investigation before leveling baseless allegations like this. if the patient has indeed been beaten by someone in the nursing home, the ward boys and other staff should have been questioned. even the patients visitors can't be given a clean chit without a thorough investigation and scrutiny of cctv footage. if there is any negligence on the doctors part it may be that he was not that careful while writing the death certificate. that is if the police are able to prove that the injuries were indeed before death and not inflicted on the dead body by someone after the death certificate was written. obviously the police may not have the time, ability or efficiency to conduct such detailed investigations. so what's the easy way out. blame the frail old man and arrest him. its easier that way and there is also a scope of extorting few lakhs from the doctors family. very unfortunate. doctors in Kolkata should go on indefinite strike and refuse treatment to kolkata police personnel in protest. if they want they can arrest all the doctors of kolkata but shouldn't be able to silence them.

He is not 67, he is 79 years old, and frail. People who know him tell that he couldn't have beaten anyone in his young age, leave alone beating a 41 years old patient to death at this age. The head trauma may be due to fall and they may have missed the signs of head injury. That should be investigated. But to press charge of beating a 41 year old patient to death by a 79 years old doctor is too much. absurd, imaginary and of course of malicious motives. Now anyone in Bengal can get framed and arrested, ... Read More

He is not 67, he is 79 years old, and frail. People who know him tell that he couldn't have beaten anyone in his young age, leave alone beating a 41 years old patient to death at this age. The head trauma may be due to fall and they may have missed the signs of head injury. That should be investigated. But to press charge of beating a 41 year old patient to death by a 79 years old doctor is too much. absurd, imaginary and of course of malicious motives. Now anyone in Bengal can get framed and arrested, be it for sharing a facebook opinion or be it protesting against draconian laws. it is on part of the innocent victims to prove their innocence. until then he or she is a criminal. All hard earned reputation goes to gutter

psychiatrists are monsters and their medication is poisen if someone wants to become lifetime guesr of monsters then go to them or else treat naturally

Yes people like you deserve to get treated naturally by jyotish, tantriks and by unknown herbs. Modern medicine is not for dinosaurs like you. People like you are taking India 2000 years backwards. In thia age when WHO is spreading awareness for treatment of mental illness, morons are making opposite propaganda

Dr Brahmo is a very senior Psychiatrist who has worked a considerable period of his life in U.K.! I had visited his Hospital a few years back, the staff is experienced and under the able guidance of Doctors the patients are treated. This is an unfortunate incidence. The truth will prevail!
