The rape and murder of a junior doctor from RG Kar Medical College has shaken the entire country. On August 9, 2024, body of the junior doctor was found in the college’s seminar hall. Ever since protests for justice have taken over the town. In the latest update, the victim’s parents have now claimed that the police tried to offer them money.
On Wednesday, September 4, the victim’s parents claimed that Kolkata Police’s DC North offered money to settle the matter. Revealing the same, the parents mentioned–”When my daughter’s body was brought home, the DC North took me aside and offered me money. I gave him whatever reply I had to at that time.” However, the confusion in statement erupted when an old video of the victim’s parents surfaced, where they’re seen denying to being offered bribery. Both videos create contradictions in the statement.
A Twitter user named Dr Aratrika Ganguly shared a copy of the statement with the demands of the RG Kar MCH Resident Doctors’ Association. This new controversy has also become a source of political distress between the TMC and the opposition party. BJP’s Asansol South MLA Agnimitra Paul called out Mamata Banerjee and asked her to answer the questions of the victim’s family.
