This criticism happened after Mamata Banerjee encouraged people to return to the festivities as the occasion of Durga Puja came near and also urged the junior doctors to return to their duties as soon as possible. In an emotional statement to ANI, the victim’s mother said, “The chief minister is lying. My daughter will not return. Would I lie in her name?” She said that they would receive money and also suggested that they build something in their daughter’s memory. The doctor’s mother told the CM that she would come to her office to collect the money after her daughter got justice.

She further stated that her family will continue protesting until their daughter gets justice. The victim’s cousin also stated that Mamata Banerjee offered financial compensation to their family. The CM told them that the money was not from the police.
