Kolkata horror gets murkier

Friday, 30 August 2024 | Saugar Sengupta | Kolkata

The parents of the victim lady doctor of RG Kar Medical College Hospital rejected the claims of the Kolkata Police that the portions of the seminar hall where the body of the said doctor was allegedly found in a semi-nude condition had been cordoned off and that the outsiders were not allowed to go near the place of occurrence.

The lady doctor was allegedly raped and murdered in the early hours of August 9.

"First of all we deny and reject the claim made by the Kolkata Police that the place of occurrence had been safely cordoned off because when we reached the place we found no such cordon," said parents of the doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered in the night of August 8, adding, "not only we were kept waiting for more than three hours before we could see the body of our daughter... but also when we reached there we were told by the staff at that hospital that authorities were inspecting the area before which we could not be let in."

The mother of the victim said, "They kept us, the parents of the only child who was dead, waiting for three hours but they allowed outsiders to vitiate the area leading to destruction of evidence... now we wonder what is left for the CBI to find on the sport that could shed light on the crime."

The parents also referred to the bed sheet that was used to cover victim's body complaining how "the sheet was changed thrice."

The mother of the victim doctor said, "My daughter had a red chaadar with her... which was changed to blue and then green... these three kinds of sheets were on her on three occasions... is this not an example of destruction of evidence... if it is now then what is."

Meanwhile the audio tape of the telephone call that went to the victim's family for the first time from the hospital on August nine went viral.

A popular Bengali channel showed how a woman calling up the parents of the doctor asking them to rush to the hospital "as she is seriously ill."

When the father of the victim doctor called back asking as to what had happened to her daughter they asked him to rush to the hospital quickly as she was seriously ill and had been carried to the Emergency. Subsequently a third phone call came from the same number from the same woman who got herself identified as the Assistant Superintendent of the Hospital who said, "now I have to tell you that I am the Assistant Super speaking ... it seems that your daughter has committed suicide so you have to come quickly to the hospital."
