The gross&nbsp;and tragic incident sparked nationwide protests in India, which have seen the participation of doctors and the medical fraternity. Allegations of a botched-up investigation and tampering of evidence snowballed into outrage that has spread across medical campuses in West Bengal and beyond.

Previously, on&nbsp;Tuesday (Aug&nbsp;13), a bench of the Calcutta High Court&nbsp;observed that there had been no significant progress in investigations made by the Kolkata Police in five days since the tragic incident.
