 "WATCH: Kolkata doctor's family shares ordeal of seeing rape victim daughter's body")
Parents and relatives of the 31-year-old woman trainee doctor, who was raped and murdered in Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, have shared heart wrenching ordeal soon after they were informed about their daughter’s death on August 9.
In a discussion with India Today’s Lallantop, the father of the trainee doctor said that his suspicion rose soon after he started getting calls from the hospital. “I knew something had happened to my daughter,” he said.
Over the call, the hospital authorities said “your daughter has died by suicide. Come immediately,” recalled the father of the doctor whose semi-naked body was found in a seminar hall of state-run RG Kar Hospital in West Bengal’s capital Kolkata on Friday (August 9) morning.
Initially, the Kolkata Police had suspected that the doctor had died by suicide but later changed its version.
‘Made us to wait outside for 3 hours’
The parents of the trainee doctor along with a relative, who lives in the neighbourhood, and an acquaintance rushed to the hospital soon after getting the news of their daughter’s death.
Upon reaching there, they were made to wait for three hours.
“I heard her (mother) cry aloud. When I went there, she hugged me and cried that everything is over. She told me about getting a call from the hospital, saying her daughter has died by suicide,” the relative said.

‘Doctor’s legs were 90 degrees apart’
The relative further said that after three hours, when the parents were allowed inside the seminar hall to see their daughter’s body, they were told that they could only click a picture.
“He (the victim’s father) came outside the seminar hall and showed the picture to me. She had no clothes on her body. Her legs were 90 degrees apart… this cannot happen unless the pelvic girdle breaks, which means she was torn apart,” the relative said.
“Her spectacles were broken and there were shards of glasses in her eyes. She was strangled to death. I am not making this up. All this has been proven in the post-mortem report too,” she added.
Demand for justice
Sharing the interview on X, Bharatiya Janata Party spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla reacted to the victim’s family ordeal.
“The chilling details of brutality the junior doctor at RG Kar Medical College & Hospital. Never forget. Never forgive. TMC & INDI alliance,” he said.

“Nothing short of death penalty should be the case made by the CBI,” she added.

Kolkata hospital rape & murder: What autopsy report revealed?
The four-page postmortem report of the trainee doctor revealed deep wound in her private parts caused by “perverted sexuality” and “genital torture".
It further found that the doctor’s thyroid cartilage was broken due to strangling. Also, severe injuries were found on her belly, lips, fingers, and left leg.
The report also mentioned that the accused, Sanjoy Roy, had hit her so hard that the glasses of her spectacles shattered and shards pierced into her eyes.
“There was bleeding from both her eyes and mouth and injuries over the face. The victim was also bleeding from her private parts. She also has injuries in her belly, left leg… neck, in her right hand, ring finger and… lips," the report stated.
On Tuesday, the Calcutta High Court transferred the probe to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
Sanjoy Roy, the accused in the case, was arrested on Saturday. He was an outsider who frequently visited the hospital premises.
After brutally hurting and sexually assaulting the Kolkata trainee doctor, the accused killed by throttling and smothering her.
The post-mortem report estimates the time of death to be between 3 am and 5 am on Friday.
The trainee doctor was on night duty on Thursday (August 8). After finishing the nightly rounds duty, she had dinner with two other doctors junior to her. Around 2 am, she retired to the seminar hall to rest for the remainder of the night.
