Kolkata Rape And Murder Case: Call Records Reveal RG Kar Hospital Tried To Mislead Parents By Claiming Death As Suicide

The audio records of call conversations between the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital and the parents of the trainee doctor who was raped and murdered prove that the hospital authority tried to downplay the matter by calling it a suicide.

The parents have been saying from the beginning of the case that they were tried to be misled by saying that their daughter had committed suicide. However, the hospital authorities and Kolkata Police were denying this.

According to the call records accessed by the NDTV, the 31-year-old second-year postgraduate doctor talked to her mother last at 11:30 pm on 8 August, a few hours before the brutal incident.

Then, at 10:53 am on 9 August, the parents received the first call from the hospital. A lady spoke from the other side introducing herself as the Assistant Superintendent of the hospital and told parents that the condition of their daughter was 'very bad.'

The lady did not reveal further details and instead asked the parents to come to the hospital soon. In the second call, a male spoke on behalf of the hospital and asked the parents to come to the Chest Department.

In the third call, apparently, the same lady who had made the first call spoke and told parents that their daughter has probably died by suicide and the police and other authorities had already reached the spot, urging them to come quickly.

The parents had left the home after the first call only and have alleged that they were made to wait for three hours before they could see their daughter's dead body. Kolkata Police claimed that the parents reached at 1 pm and were shown the body in 10 minutes.
