The father of the young doctor who was raped and murdered at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital said on Sunday a page from their daughter’s diary that Kolkata Police had seized might not have been handed to the CBI.

He said he has a picture of that page and would like to hand it to the central agency.

“We have heard that a page from our daughter’s diary may have been missing. We have proof. The police showed a loose page from the diary to my wife and asked her whether the handwriting was our daughter’s. One of my brothers took a photograph of that page. I am not sure what happened to that page. But we have proof as we have the photograph,” the victim’s father told The Telegraph on Sunday.

CBI sources said there was one loose page which the city police had handed to them in a sealed packet, like other pieces of evidence.

Reacting to the bereaved father’s statement, officers of Kolkata Police said it’s a mystery how the family knew what documents had been handed to the CBI.

An officer who was part of the team from the city police that was investigating the rape and murder of the postgraduate trainee, till the CBI took over the probe following an order from Calcutta High Court, said the crime scene had been photographed and videographed in the presence of two interns and the mother of the deceased.

He also ruled out the possibility of any document not having been handed to the CBI.

“The seizure list was signed by two women doctors and the victim’s mother as witnesses. There is no question of any ambiguity on that,” the officer said.

“All pieces of evidence, including the diary, were individually packed and sealed. Those were not opened. The packets were still sealed when they were handed to the CBI,” the police officer said.

CBI officers said on Sunday they received the diary in a sealed cover and a page from that diary in another sealed cover. Those were among the pieces of evidence that were seized by Kolkata Police and later handed to the central agency, the officers said.

The white diary was lying beside the victim’s head when her body was found on August 9 in the seminar room housing the emergency department of RG Kar, police sources said.

Sources in the agency said the diary contained the young doctor’s daily duty schedule.

“The one loose page that was seized separately from the diary had a mention about the victim’s wish to be a gold medalist,” a CBI officer said.

The victim’s father on Sunday also asked why chief minister Mamata Banerjee was trying to suppress spontaneous protests across the state.

“She (Mamata Banerjee) is saying so many things. She is holding rallies seeking justice for the victim, but at the same time she is also trying to stop the protests. Is she scared of the common man?”

“Uni mukto kontho protibaad rodh korar cheshta korchen (she is trying to throttle the spontaneous protest of the common man),” he said.

Asked if the CBI was hesitating in making further arrests, the father said they have faith in the agency.

Ex-principal

Sandip Ghosh, who was the principal of RG Kar when the junior doctor was raped and murdered, was questioned by the CBI for the third consecutive day on Sunday. He left the CBI office at the CGO Complex in Salt Lake around 12.30am on Monday.

A large group of protesters gathered outside the Beleghata home of Ghosh on Sunday night and shouted slogans, seeking justice for the victim.
