Kolkata doctor rape-murder case: RG Kar, the campus was victim's 'second home'
From a batch of MBBS students who had seen Covid pandemic break out as they learnt their craft, she had chosen respiratory medicine as her specialisation. At RG Kar, the campus she called her «second home», she immersed herself in patient management, the report said further.
On August 9, after a shift and study cycle that stretched for 36 hours without a break, she had dozed off on a platform in the college's seminar room when she was sexually assaulted by one or more individuals (still the subject of a probe), and murdered in an attack of depraved brutality. Interns and fellow postgraduate trainees who had come to the seminar room the next morning found her body. Her laptop, a notebook & cellphone lay intact beside it.

Waiting for Durga Puja:
Just like other families in West Bengal, the victim's family were waiting for a grand celebration as well. «We are a poor family and we raised her with a lot of hardship. She worked extremely hard to become a doctor. All our dreams have been shattered in one night,» her 67-year-old father told TOI. «This was to be the third year of our home Puja and she had plans to organise a bigger one this time. This was meant to be a special occasion as she would have completed her PG,» her mother said. «Now, all we want are arrests and proper punishment for all the culprits involved. Only that can offer solace to her soul.»
