‘Not Satisfied...’: Doctor's Parents Say Mamata Trying To Stop Protests, Police Wanted To Hush Up Rape-Murder Case
Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder Case LIVE Updates: Doctors and other medical staff have been protesting in different parts of the country affecting the functioning of health facilities.

The parents of the trainee doctor who was raped and murdered earlier in Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on Sunday expressed their displeasure with the role Bengal chief minister Mamata Banerjee and the Kolkata Police played in the case.

Both parents accused the chief minister of stifling the protests demanding justice for their daughter who was brutally murdered and alleged there were attempts “to hush up the case as soon as possible”.

“We are not satisfied with the chief minister. We are unhappy with the CM. We have refused to take any compensation,” the victim’s father told news agency ANI.

He also expressed his displeasure over the lack of outcome following the probes. “No results have come out of the inquiry that is being done. We hope we will get results,” he added. “She said that the culprit will be arrested as soon as possible, but nothing has happened so far,” the mother also said, referring to Mamata Banerjee.

The parents of the deceased woman doctor claimed that they were informed over the phone on August 9 morning that their daughter died by suicide at the hospital, where she worked.

“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,” the mother of the trainee doctor said.

Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal has stated that no one from the police force had called up the parents to say that their daughter died by suicide.

He also accused Mamata Banerjee of stifling the protests. “The CM is talking about providing justice, but then attempts are being made to put the common people demanding justice in jail. When she herself wants justice, she takes to the streets and now she stops the public,” he said.

He also alleged that the hospital’s chest medicine department, where his daughter was working as a trainee doctor, is involved in the crime.

“No one from the department or the college cooperated with us. The entire department is involved in this,” he said.

“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 mother added.

He claimed that his daughter’s body was cremated first even though there were other bodies queued for cremation. “There were three bodies at the crematorium but our daughter’s body was cremated first,” he said.

“They only tried to hush up the case as soon as possible. Their attempt was to get the post-mortem done as soon as possible and remove the body,” the mother said, referring to the Kolkata commissioner of police.

After the victim’s father spoke to the media, the BJP spokesperson Amit Malviya in a social media post claimed that due to the statements made the West Bengal government under Mamata Banerjee, through its police force and state machinery, will exert pressure on the victim’s family.

“Now Mamata Banerjee and Kolkata Police will hound the family of the RG Kar MCH rape and murder victim too. Send them legal notices and ask them to report at the police station at odd hours and threaten them with consequences. No one is afraid of the dictator anymore. She must resign,” he said.

The investigating officers of the CBI are looking into the call details and chats of former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Sandip Ghosh, in connection with their probe into the rape and murder of a woman doctor.

So far, CBI has grilled over 20 people, including a couple of officers of the Kolkata Police, in connection with its investigation.

Ghosh, who appeared before the CBI officers on the third consecutive day on Sunday, was asked to furnish details of the phone calls he made before, and after the incident at the hospital, an officer of the central probe agency said.
