A final-year student from R G Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata died under mysterious circumstances at a hospital in Malda, police said. The deceased's family alleged that her boyfriend, a junior doctor at Malda Medical College and Hospital, was responsible for the death.
Family alleges murder by boyfriend
According to a senior police officer, 24-year-old Anindita Soren, a final-year student of RG Kar Medical College, died at Malda Medical College and Hospital. Her family filed a complaint against her boyfriend, Ujjwal Soren, accusing him of poisoning her and later admitting her to the hospital in a critical state.
"The real circumstances behind the death will be known only after the autopsy report of the young woman," the officer said.
Anindita, a resident of Balurghat in Dakshin Dinajpur, had an affair with Ujjwal, whom she met on social media and at different medical events, and their acquaintance developed into a romantic relationship.
Ujjwal was not ready to marry Anindita
Her mother, Alpana Tudu, alleged on Saturday that since her daughter was insisting on marriage, it led to regular quarrels between the two, as Ujjwal, a resident of Purulia, was not ready to enter into a marital relationship with Anindita.
"Yesterday we got a phone call from him that our daughter had fallen seriously ill and was taken to Malda hospital. Today we were informed that she died. We know she was asking him to marry her. Our daughter had visited our Balurghat residence last Sunday and left for Kolkata the next day. How come she landed up in Malda subsequently and fell ill? We want police to interrogate him," Tudu said.
The officer said that police are trying to locate Ujjwal to record his statement, while the autopsy report of the deceased is expected to determine the exact cause of death.
The rape and murder of a female medic at R G Kar Hospital during night duty hours last year had triggered an outrage and furore all over the country.
