Protests are continuing in the case of rape and murder of a female doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital last month. Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the victim’s family has made a big claim. The female doctor’s family has alleged that the Kolkata Police tried to suppress the case by cremating the body in a hurry. At the same time, they have also alleged that the Kolkata Police also tried to bribe them with money.
Police tried to suppress the case – Family
According to PTI, the relatives of the Kolkata rape-murder victim have claimed that the Kolkata Police tried to suppress the case from the very beginning. The family was not allowed to see the body. They had to wait at the police station while the body was being taken for post-mortem. Later, when the body was handed over to the family, a senior police officer offered them money. The family immediately rejected it.
Family members became part of the protest
The victim’s parents joined the protest at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital along with junior doctors on Wednesday night and demanded justice for their daughter. Earlier on Tuesday, a delegation of junior doctors in Kolkata presented a handmade artificial spine to the city’s police commissioner Vineet Goyal. The doctors had demanded his resignation over alleged lapses in the entire case. In this way, they have given a message to the police to develop a spine.
People switched off the lights of their homes
On Wednesday evening, citizens in Kolkata showed solidarity and staged a powerful protest. In protest against the rape and murder of a female doctor at RG Kar Hospital, the residents here switched off the lights of their homes for an hour from 9 pm to 10 pm and took out a candle march on the streets. At exactly 9 pm, major landmarks like Victoria Memorial and Raj Bhavan, houses in the city, suburbs and districts plunged into darkness as part of the protest.
