Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder Case: Victims Parents Accuse Police Of Destroying Evidence

The parents of the Kolkata doctor who was raped and killed last month have alleged that the Kolkata Police tried to hush up the incident and even tried to interfere with evidence. The allegations were made when numerous protesters, including the medical fraternity and supporters, took to the streets for a protest march in Kolkata to press for justice for the victim.

The victim’s mother narrated the ordeal that her daughter went through, saying, “Every time I think of the torment and the pain that my daughter went through that night, I shudder; she had dreams of serving society.” She embraced the protesters, saying, “Now, all these protesters are all my children.”

The parents have been very vocal on the issue of police unwillingness to cooperate from the time the case was opened. “From the very beginning, the police didn't cooperate with us. We could have seen a glimpse of hope if they had cooperated even a little. Even after such a crime, the police tried to cover it up. Evidence too has been tampered with.” The mother of the victim said.
