A team from Kolkata Police, led by an additional commissioner, on Sunday visited the house of the junior doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital early on Friday.

The additional commissioner said after coming out of the victim’s house that they have assured the family that the investigators would “go to the bottom of the case”.

The family members said that the police shared the doctor’s post-mortem report with them and showed them the electronic evidence based on which civic volunteer Sanjay Roy has been arrested.

“We have informed them (the woman’s family) in detail about the status of
the investigation. We have also informed them about our further steps. We have handed the full post-mortem report to them,” the additional commissioner of police (I), Murlidhar Sharma, told reporters outside the victim’s house on Sunday evening.

“A girl has lost her life. She was not just a girl. She is like my own sister, she is like my niece. We are doing the investigation keeping this in mind and we will see an end to it,” Sharma said.

“Our investigation is being done transparently, with full integrity.”

Sources in the police said the team that called on the victim’s family carried a laptop and showed the parents some electronic evidence collected in the case.

The postgraduate trainee, who was on night duty on Thursday, had dinner with her junior colleagues in the seminar room of the hospital. After dinner, she stayed back in the room while the others left.

She was found dead the next morning.

The woman’s family said they had received the post-mortem report from the police.

“We suspect someone had hired professional killers to murder my daughter,” the woman’s father said after the police team left.

He added that his daughter was “unhappy working at RG Kar”.

“She was under tremendous pressure. Five times a month she had to do this type of 36-hour-duty at a stretch. Also, she was facing problems as she was on night shift with four male doctors,” her father said.
