'She Had Fallen Prey To Big Conspiracy': Abhaya's Parents Slam Mamata, Allege Foul Play In Probe

Kolkata: Abhaya’s parents have hit out at Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and claimed foul play in their daughter’s rape and murder case probe.

Alleging there is conspiracy and a cover-up in their daughter's rape and murder probe, they said, “As parents, she only means to us and the ones who have been protesting. She might be thinking that “we don’t want CBI or anything, we just want justice. We want the culprits to be caught. She is a mother and a sister but she’s not able to feel the pain of childlessness. I know what I’m missing. After what Sandeep Ghosh has done, he should be arrested. For that at least. My Daughter is dead and without letting us know the reality. He let outsiders in. It was our fault that day. If we were in the correct frame of mind then we would have asked media to accompany us. At least the evidence wouldn’t have been destroyed. We could have retrieved it but it was our fault that we didn’t understand that our daughter had fallen prey to such a big conspiracy.”

“At 3 am first, someone visited my daughter and found out that she was lying down with a red bed sheet on her. Then later in another picture a blue sheet was seen and we had seen her in a green sheet. But when the blue sheet was on her that time her leg was far away from the bed. When we saw that picture, the legs were in front. It was understood that someone had rearranged the scene and shown us,” Abhaya's mother said. 

The trainee doctor was allegedly raped and killed in a seminar hall of the hospital, where she had gone to rest during her graveyard shift in the early hours of August 9.

Her body with severe injury marks was found inside the hall by a doctor who was on rounds.

Roy was arrested the next day on the basis of CCTV footage, in which he was seen entering the seminar hall at 4:03 am on the day of the incident.

On August 13, the Calcutta High Court ordered the probe to be transferred from the Kolkata Police to the CBI, which took over the case on August 14. The incident has triggered nationwide protests.
