As per the post-mortem report, the trainee doctor was first brutally raped and then she was murdered. The report also states that her private parts have several severe injuries.

On Monday, West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee visited the deceased doctor's family. She also said that the authorities would investigate and find out the person who claimed that she died by suicide.

Mamata Banerjee said, “I want the police to arrest the culprits as soon as possible. If they are unable to crack the case by Sunday, we will hand it over to the CBI. I don’t have an issue with the central agency taking over, but its success rate is low.”

Kolkata police have recorded the statement of the deceased trainee doctor's colleagues and the four junior doctors who had dinner with the deceased trainee doctor that night.
