Father of RG Kar victim asks CBI to secure evidence of deceased daughter – India TV

The father of the junior doctor who was raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital last month has formally requested the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to secure crucial evidence related to his daughter’s death.

In a letter to the agency, he stressed the importance of preserving her phone records and hospital surveillance footage, especially from the seminar hall where her body was found on August 9.

The father reported that he had spoken to his daughter just hours before her tragic death and expressed his deep concern about the progress of the investigation. “I feel helpless and worried about the mystery surrounding my daughter’s death,” he said in his two-page letter to the CBI.

According to CBI sources, the father requested the agency to secure all call records and monitor the duty roster for that fateful night, and stated that he suspected several interns and doctors at the hospital of involvement in the crime. “The father’s demand underscores the urgency of the investigation,” a CBI official said, noting that the letter was submitted to the Supreme Court along with the agency’s status report during a hearing on September 17.

The tragic incident began when the body of the critically injured doctor was found on August 9. A day after her body was discovered, the Kolkata police arrested a volunteer, the first step in what has become a complex investigation.

On August 13, the Calcutta High Court handed over the case from the Calcutta Police to the CBI, which began investigation the very next day. The CBI has not yet issued a statement on the status of its investigation, but the demand for transparency and accountability remains a priority for the grieving family.
