The shocking case of a 31-year-old PG trainee doctor found raped and murdered at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9 has left the entire community reeling. Now, her grieving family has come forward to share the harrowing details of what they discovered, offering a glimpse into the unimaginable horror their daughter faced in her final moments.
A relative who accompanied the family to the hospital described the horrifying scene. The doctor’s legs were found splayed at a 90-degree angle—a position, they explained, that could only occur if the pelvic girdle was broken. "She was torn apart," the relative painfully recalled, noting that her body was found without any clothes. The brutality of the crime led them to believe that it couldn’t have been committed by just one person.
As the family struggles to come to terms with their loss, BJP leader Amit Malviya has fueled further controversy by suggesting that the suspects might have connections to close associates of Mamata Banerjee within the ruling Trinamool Congress (TMC). While these rumors have ignited public outrage, the Kolkata police have urged everyone to avoid speculations and allow the investigation to unfold without interference.
The family’s anguish was only compounded by the way they were treated after receiving the devastating news. They were initially informed by the assistant superintendent of RG Kar Medical College that their daughter had died by suicide, a claim that added to their confusion and despair. The father of the deceased shared in an interview with Lallantop, a sister channel of India Today TV, “They told us our daughter had died by suicide and that we needed to come immediately.”
Upon arriving at the hospital, the family was forced to wait outside for three agonizing hours before they were allowed to see her body. When the father was finally permitted to enter, he was allowed to take just one photograph, which he shared with his waiting relatives. The image confirmed their worst fears: her legs were unnaturally positioned, her spectacles were shattered with glass shards embedded in her eyes, and signs of strangulation were evident. These grim details were later confirmed by the post-mortem report.
The autopsy further revealed that the young doctor had sustained cut marks on her hands and face, likely as she fought back against her attacker. Severe head injuries were noted, consistent with her head being slammed against a wall. The report also confirmed that the assailant had covered her mouth with force, leaving injury marks on her face. In a final act of brutality, the trainee doctor was strangled to death, and the examination revealed multiple injuries on her private parts, confirming that she had been raped.
This heartbreaking case has raised urgent questions about safety in medical institutions and sparked widespread outrage. The family’s brave decision to share the grim reality of their daughter’s death highlights the need for justice and accountability. As the investigation continues, the community stands in solidarity with the family, demanding answers and justice for the young doctor who was robbed of her future in such a cruel and devastating manner.
