Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder Case: The parents of the trainee doctor who was brutally raped and murdered at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital have expressed their dissatisfaction with the role played by West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the Kolkata Police in the case. They have made serious allegations, asserting that their daughter was murdered and that there is an effort to cover up the case. The mother of the deceased, speaking to ANI, shared the distressing series of events that led to the discovery of her daughter's body.
"First we got a call from the hospital that your daughter is sick, then the call was disconnected. After that when I called and asked what happened, they told me to come to the hospital. When we called again, the (caller) identified himself as Assistant Super and said your daughter has committed suicide. She went to duty on Thursday, we got this call on Friday at 10:53 am. When we reached there, we were not allowed to see her, we were allowed to see her at 3 o'clock," the mother of the deceased doctor said.
The mother described the shocking state in which they found their daughter's body, leading her to believe it was not a suicide but a murder. "Her pants were open, there was only one piece of cloth on her body. Her hand was broken, and blood was coming out of her eyes, and mouth. Just by looking at her, it seemed that someone had murdered her. I told them it was not suicide, it was murder. We worked so hard to make our daughter a doctor but she was murdered," she added.

Frustrated with the lack of progress in the investigation, the mother criticised the Bengal Chief Minister, stating, "Mamata Banerjee said that the culprit will be arrested as soon as possible, but nothing has happened so far. One person has been arrested. I am sure many more are involved in this incident. I think the entire department is responsible for the incident... The police did not do a good job at all. I feel that the Chief Minister is trying to stop the protest, today she imposed Section 144 here so that people cannot protest."
"They did not cooperate with us at all, they only tried to hush up the case as soon as possible. Their attempt was to get the post-mortem done as soon as possible and remove the body," the victim's mother stated about the Commissioner of Police.
The deceased doctor's father also shared similar sentiments, expressing his dissatisfaction with the ongoing investigation. "No results have come out of the inquiry that is being done. We hope we will get results... No one from the department or the college cooperated with us. The entire department is involved in this... There were three bodies at the crematorium but our daughter's body was cremated first...The CM is talking about providing justice, but then attempts are being made to put the common people demanding justice in jail. We are not satisfied with the CM. We have refused to take any compensation..." the deceased doctor's father told ANI.
