The father of the rape and murder victim from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital voiced strong dissatisfaction with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday, accusing the agency of inconsistencies in its investigation reports.
A 31-year-old junior doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata was raped and murdered on August 9, 2024.
What did the victim's father say?
"CBI has presented two drastically different reports in the Calcutta High Court and the Sealdah district Court... We will tell this today in the High Court that two different status reports are being presented... Even Supreme Court judges could not believe the gravity of the report submitted to them... We had faith in the CBI, but now we are losing all hope," he told news agency ANI.
The victim's father further alleged that the CBI knows the identities of those responsible for his daughter's rape and murder but is deliberately withholding that information. "CBI knows the perpetrators behind the rape and murder of my daughter but it is not revealing the details...," he said.
He claimed concerns that unauthorised access to his daughter's phone may have occurred. His suspicion arose after a friend of his daughter indicated that she had exited their group of friends. He asserted that her phone contains all relevant information.
He further said that he has lost confidence in the legal system. "My daughter's friends visited me two days ago and showed that somebody has accessed her phone to leave their common WhatsApp group. The CBI has her phone but they deny having it... Her mobile phone has all the answers... I have no faith in anyone in the Indian legal system anymore...," he said.
