Father of RG Kar Medical College Victim Urges CBI to Preserve Evidence

Kolkata/Panjab Post
The father of a doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital has reached out to the CBI, requesting the preservation of key evidence. In a recent letter, he disclosed that he spoke to his daughter shortly before her tragic death and emphasized the importance of saving her phone call records. Additionally, he urged the agency to secure CCTV footage from the hospital, particularly from the seminar hall where his daughter’s body was discovered on August 9. “The father requested that we save the call records,” a CBI source confirmed.
The letter, which expresses the father’s “helplessness and anxiety” regarding the ongoing investigation, was shared with the Supreme Court during a hearing on September 17. In his correspondence, he also asked the CBI to obtain the duty roster for that night to identify staff members who were present alongside his daughter. The parents suspect that multiple interns and medical staff could be implicated in the case. Following the discovery of the victim’s body, which showed signs of severe injury, a civic volunteer was arrested. On August 13, the Calcutta High Court ordered the case to be transferred from Kolkata police to the CBI, which commenced its investigation the next day.
