"FIRS WILL RUIN YOUR FUTURE" MAMTA BANERJEE THREATENING PROTESTING DOCTORS

The tragic rape and murder of the female trainee doctor at Kolkata’s R G Kar Medical College and Hospital have drawn nationwide outrage, leading to protests by junior doctors who have halted work to demand justice for the victim.

On the day of the incident, a second-year postgraduate trainee doctor spent her night, like every day. She had dinner with her juniors and went to have some rest at around 2 AM. Due to lack of rest space available for the doctor in the hospital, she went to seminar hall to sleep, assuming that it was safe. The next morning, the seminude body of the doctor was found inside the seminar hall on August 9, after she had been on duty the previous night.

Several doctors who accessed the autopsy report have indicated a possibility of a gang rape. In an exclusive interview with India Today TV, DR Subarna Goswami pointed out that the kind of injuries inflicted by the 31-year-old trainee doctor cannot be the work of one single person. She said that according to the autopsy report, 151 mg of liquid (semen) was found from the vaginal swab. "That quantity cannot be of one person. It suggests the involvement of multiple people," Dr Goswami said. Preliminary autopsy reports indicated that the victim was sexually assaulted before her murder. The autopsy ruled out suicide and found multiple injuries consistent with a violent death, including broken bones and bleeding from various body parts.
