Abhaya's Mother Pens Emotional Letter

On the occasion of Teachers' Day, September 5, she wrote in the letter, 'I am the mother of the poor deceased... Today on Teachers' Day, I salute all the teachers on behalf of my daughter. Since childhood, her dream was to become a doctor. You were the driving force behind that dream.'

She further said that we have been with her as her guardians, she herself worked very hard. But I think, because she got good teachers like you, she was able to fulfill her dream of becoming a doctor.'

Then came the matter of degree, my daughter used to say, 'Mom, I don't need money, I just want a lot of degrees in front of my name and I want to cure as many patients as possible.'

Referring to the day of the incident, she further said, "Even on that day when she went out of the house, she had served many patients in the hospital. During duty, the miscreants killed her and her dreams were brutally strangled. The dream of becoming a gold medalist in MD written that night is still incomplete. Even after this heinous incident, full preparations were made by the hospital administration and officials to erase all the evidence."

The mother of the deceased wrote in the last part of the letter, “Being a mother, it is a humble request to all the teachers, doctors, health officials, nursing staff of the medical college that if you have any information and evidence, please bring it forward because I feel that the silence of some good people boosts the morale of the criminals. With the message of standing with the movement of the medical society and the common people and on Teacher's Day, everyone.”

“The order, signed by Sandip Ghosh, former director of RG Kar Medical College, is dated August 10, just one day after the victim’s death. Despite allegations from colleagues and protesters about tampering with the crime scene, the Police Commissioner denied it. This letter seems to confirm that the seminar hall was demolished the day after the death to destroy evidence. Such actions couldn’t have happened without the instructions of the Health Minister and the failed Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee . Shameful!” Mazumdar wrote on X.
