Meanwhile, BJP leader Amit Malviya pointed out that there were rumours that elusive suspects in the RG Kar MCH rape and murder case were “closely linked to Mamata Banerjee’s confidants in the ruling Trinamool (TMC).” Kolkata Police, however, urged the public not to speculate or spread rumours.
Three hours waiting for the body: family of the deceased doctor
The family also said they had to wait three hours outside the building before they could see her body.
The doctor-educator’s father had received a call from the deputy principal of RG Kar Medical College. The family said they were initially told that their daughter had committed suicide.
Speaking to Lallantop, sister channel of India Today TV, the deceased doctor’s father said: “They (the hospital administration) said our daughter had committed suicide and we had to come immediately.”
A relative of the family who lives in the neighborhood and went to the hospital with the family said they had to wait outside for three hours. “The parents begged them (the hospital administration) to show them their daughter’s face. But still they had to wait for three hours,” the relative said.
“After three hours, the father was allowed to go in and see her body. He was allowed to take only one photograph, which he showed us when he came out. She was naked. Her legs were spread at 90 degrees… this cannot happen unless the pelvic girdle breaks, which means she has been torn apart,” the relative was quoted as saying by India Today.
“Her glasses were broken and there were shards of glass in her eyes. She was suffocated. I’m not making this up. This was also proven in the autopsy,” she added.
Glass splinters in the eyes, head hit against the wall: Autopsy shows
According to autopsy reports, cuts were found on the victim’s hands and face. The reports indicated that glass fragments from her glasses broke and entered her eyes due to a brutal blow. Head injuries were also reported as the accused hit the deceased’s head against the wall.
While she was banging her head against the wall, the accused reportedly covered her mouth, causing injuries to the victim’s face. Worse still, the torture did not end there, as the accused later strangled the aspiring doctor to death. According to several reports, doctors also found several injuries on her private parts, suggesting rape.
