Doctor rape case in Calcutta: Some colleagues of the junior doctor who was raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata have revealed important details about the case. They believe that it is not a simple criminal case as the victim could have been targeted.

The victim was under massive work pressure, including 36 hours of continuous shift work, as her diaries reveal. One of her colleagues also told The Times of India that the death of the trainees was not a simple case of rape and murder.

Her colleague asked how the accused Sanjay Roy came to know that the victim was alone in the seminar hall. “Roy could be part of a conspiracy hatched by a big fish. She was the target. How did the volunteer know that she was alone in the seminar hall at that time?” the colleague told the publication.

Another colleague claimed the victim was trying to expose possible drug fraud in her department. “Maybe she knew too much about something,” he said.

“She didn’t like going to RG Kar”

The 31-year-old doctor's mother said her daughter had expressed reluctance to visit the hospital in the days before the attack. “She always said she didn't like going to RG Kar anymore,” the mother said.

“They didn't let us see our dead daughter's face. We kept begging, but they didn't let us see her face. We were told that an investigation was underway. They made us suffer a lot,” said the doctor's mother.

“Doubt whether she was killed in the seminar room”

The victim's father doubts that his daughter was killed in the seminar hall. He said, “We have found lapses in the police department and have informed the CBI. We now doubt that she was killed in the seminar hall. It could be that she was killed somewhere else.”

He also expressed his confidence in the CBI's investigation and called for the harshest punishment for those responsible.

His comments came amid suspicions that renovations near the third-floor seminar room of the pulmonary unit in the hospital's emergency room building were intended to conceal key evidence.
