Parents of murdered doctor in Kolkata allege that the police attempted to bribe them

 

The parents of a doctor in Kolkata allege that the police attempted to bribe them after their daughter was murdered. 

The family of the Kolkata doctor stated that when they received the body, a high-ranking police officer tried to give them money, but they promptly turned it down. 

The doctor from Kolkata who was viciously raped and killed last month had parents who claimed that the police initially attempted to offer them money in exchange for keeping the case quiet. The event occurred during the doctor's night shift and has sparked widespread demonstrations throughout the state, calling for immediate action. 

The 31-year-old's parents participated in the protest at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, where their daughter's body was discovered on August 9. They claimed that the police were attempting to quickly conclude the case without conducting a proper investigation. 

From the outset, the police attempted to cover up the situation. The father told the protesters that they could not see the body and had to wait at the police station while it was being taken for post-mortem examinations. 

He added that a senior police official tried to give them money when they received the body, but they refused it instantly. 

The parents announced that they will be participating in the protest to show their support for junior doctors who are advocating for justice for their daughter. 

The Kolkata Police is facing severe backlash from both the Opposition and the public for its management of the delicate case. There are concerns about how accused Sanjoy Roy had unrestricted access to every part of the public hospital around the clock. Some reports have also alleged that he would unlawfully set up hospital beds and other amenities for patients in return for payment. 

Phrases aimed at police officers, highlighting the fact that they also have daughters, have been circulating on social media and appearing on signs held by demonstrators during protests in the streets. 

In the midst of public anger, the Calcutta High Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the case. Dr Sandip Ghosh, former principal of RG Kar Medical College, was arrested by the CBI on Monday for suspected financial irregularities at the institution.
