In the case of the tragic rape and murder of a Kolkata doctor at RG Kar Hospital, the victim’s father has asserted that more than one individual was involved in the brutal crime. he expressed his previous faith in Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee but said he has now lost confidence in her commitment to justice.
The doctor, a postgraduate trainee, was discovered dead in the hospital seminar hall on August 9. After a grueling 36-hour shift, she had sought rest in the seminar room, where she was subsequently raped, tortured, and smothered to death.
The victim’s father reported that all the medical professionals he consulted, including MBBS doctors, agreed it would be improbable for a single person to inflict such extensive injuries. “Everyone we spoke to believed that it was not feasible for just one person to cause so much harm,” he told NDTV.
The father had previously ensured his daughter’s safety by providing her with a car for her commute to the hospital, believing she would be secure at her workplace. He expressed deep disillusionment with Mamata Banerjee, accusing her of failing to secure justice for his family.
In a related development, doctors nationwide have organized protests and strikes demanding justice for the victim. The police have arrested Sanjoy Roy, a Kolkata police civic volunteer, in connection with the crime. Evidence linking Roy to the crime scene includes a Bluetooth headphone found near the victim’s body, which was paired to Roy’s phone.
The autopsy revealed extensive bruising on the victim’s body. In response to the case, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh has urged both Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Governor C.V. Ananda Bose to take immediate action. Governor Bose announced an emergency meeting with various community representatives to discuss the steps taken in the investigation and to gather feedback on the matter.
