Dr. Suvarna Goswami, who conducted the post-mortem of the female postgraduate trainee doctor from RG Kar Hospital, has stated that evidence indicates multiple perpetrators were involved in the brutal attack. Contradicting the Kolkata Police’s initial claims of a single assailant, Dr. Goswami reported finding 150 milligrams of semen in the victim’s body, suggesting involvement of more than one person.
Dr. Goswami noted numerous injury marks on the victim, indicating a violent and brutal assault. The deceased’s parents have corroborated these findings in court, further alleging that their daughter was raped by multiple individuals.
The victim’s mother recounted the distressing experience of being denied access to her daughter’s body for several hours at the hospital. The relative accompanying her reported that the body was found with legs spread apart and no clothing, implying severe physical trauma.
The family also claims that evidence suggests at least three people were involved in the strangulation. They revealed that the victim had called her mother on the night of the incident, and plans for her marriage were underway.
Kolkata Police have arrested a suspect, Sanjay Rai, in connection with the case. Meanwhile, former RG Kar Hospital co-superintendent Akhtar Ali has accused the hospital’s former principal, Dr. Sandeep Ghosh, of corruption and misconduct, alleging that he provided alcohol to students and took kickbacks.
The Kolkata Police have refuted claims of mishandling, stating that reports suggesting police involvement in misleading the family are false. They also clarified that the family performed the last rites, not the police.
