The tragic incident involving a 31-year-old trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital has sent shockwaves across the nation. The victim’s family recently shared their harrowing experience in an interview, recounting the trauma they endured upon discovering the true nature of their daughter’s death. Initially informed that their daughter had died by suicide, the family was left in a state of confusion and grief as they waited outside the hospital for three agonizing hours before being allowed to see her body.
The victim’s father recalled receiving the devastating call from the hospital, where they were told that their daughter had taken her own life and that they needed to come immediately. However, as details began to emerge, the initial suspicion of suicide was cast into doubt, and the Kolkata Police later revised their stance on the case.
A relative who accompanied the parents to the hospital described the unbearable scene that unfolded when they were finally granted access to see the victim. The victim’s mother was inconsolable upon hearing the news, and the family was forced to wait outside for hours, pleading with hospital authorities to see their daughter’s body. When the father was finally allowed to enter, he was met with a horrifying sight—his daughter’s body was uncovered, and her legs were positioned at a 90-degree angle, suggesting severe trauma.
