Kolkata Doctor's Rape-Murder Case: ‘My Daughter was Cremated in Hurry,’ Claims Victim’s Father

Kolkata: Amid the mounting outrage over the alleged rape and murder of the postgraduate trainee doctor in Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, the victim's father has expressed dissatisfaction with the West Bengal government's handling of the case and also claimed that his daughter's body was cremated in haste.

"There were three bodies at the crematorium, but our daughter's body was cremated first. The Chief Minister is talking about providing justice, but attempts are being…not satisfied with Mamata Banerjee and have refused to take any compensation," he stated.

The 31-year-old trainee doctor was found dead with multiple injuries on August 9. Her father voiced frustration with the Central Bureau of Investigation's ongoing probe, alleging that the entire system is involved in the case.

“No one from the department or the college cooperated with us. The entire department is involved in this...No results have come out of the inquiry that is being done. We hope we will get results,” he said.

Meanwhile, Abhaya's mother said that Kolkata Police did not do a good job at all and the CM is trying to stop the protests. She told that the hospital officials first told her that her daughter had committed suicide.

"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. 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," she said.

"I told them it is not suicide, it's a murder. We worked so hard to make our daughter a doctor but she was murdered," she added.

Targeting CM Mamata Banerjee, she said that the CM had said that the culprit would 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," she added.

The mother of the deceased doctor also added that the police did not cooperate with them at all and tried to hush up the case as soon as possible.
