Kolkata Rape-Murder Case: Victim’s Father Alleges Colleague Involvement, Urges CBI Probe

Kolkata Rape-Murder Case: On Friday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) stated that they have found at least 30 people who are involved in the alleged rape and murder of the trainee doctor. The names were provided by the victim’s family.

The information provided by the CBI claims they are now investigating a larger conspiracy because this case is suggesting that the incident might have been planned to "hide something".

Sources added that from more than past three days, the agency has enquired and questioned more than 30 individuals which has uncovered some leads.

“The parents told us that they suspect the involvement of multiple persons behind the sexual assault and murder of their daughter. They have given names of a few interns and doctors who worked with her at the hospital,” the CBI officer said.

The CBI called a house staff member and two post-graduate trainees who were on duty with the doctor on the night she was murdered on Friday. Former hospital principal Sandip Ghosh was also escorted by the agency for questioning.

The rape-murder victim's father said, "My daughter left for duty at around 8:10 am on that day. She was on OPD and last spoke to her mother at around 11:15 PM. In the morning when my wife was calling her, her phone was ringing but no one picked up, by that time my daughter died.”

“The matter of concern is that from 3 AM to 10 AM, nobody needed her, despite she was an on-duty doctor. All the people who are protesting on the streets are like my sons and daughters. My daughter has passed away but crores of children are standing with me now...”

“She had to face some problems in college, the entire department was a suspect... All those who are protesting, we are with them... I spoke to the officials of CBI yesterday but I cannot say anything else since the matter is subjudice."

BJP leader Sudip Das earlier today, said, "I would like to ask why didn't the hospital's principal lodge an FIR? Besides, why didn't the police register a suo moto case? This shows the biasness of police. If the police were unbiased, it could've begun an investigation by registering a suo moto case."

Kolkata Police Commissioner, Vineet Goyal says, "...If you say it is a failure of assessment, then yes, you can call it a failure of assessment...This entire protest was supposed to have been a very peaceful protest. That is my understanding...”

“There was no such intelligence... We also make an assessment on the basis of whatever is available... We deploy our resources and try to see that law and order is maintained. So the assessment failure is not the first time it has happened, whether in Kolkata or elsewhere. They do happen at times...There is adequate security...And we are committed to it..."

Union Minister Nityanand Rai said, "The one who is supposed to maintain law and order, goes on a protest. This means that Mamata Banerjee wants to create a chaotic situation there...”

“Mamata Banerjee does not have even a little love, mercy, and compassion. You should cooperate, but you are engaged in destroying evidence. You are engaged in diverting the issues. This is a grave injustice and sin..."

BJP leader Sukanta Majumdar said, "We have told the TMC's police that as long as we are here, they will not arrest any woman, we will not let any woman be harmed... Atrocities against women must stop. Mamata Banerjee does not need permission for a rally but when the BJP goes to do something then permission is needed, all the rules are only for the BJP...”

“Police Commissioner Vineet Kumar Goyal should immediately resign from his post... Such a person cannot be the Kolkata Police Commissioner, he should take responsibility for this incident and resign."
