Kolkata. Did the 31-year-old PGT lady doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital know something she shouldn’t have? Did she have to pay a price for knowing those ‘secrets’? Was the rape and murder planned to silence her? These are some of the questions raised by her parents and colleagues, who are also insisting that police volunteer Sanjoy Roy, now arrested in the case, ‘may just be a small pawn or a scapegoat and the real culprits have not been caught yet.’
The information gathered by the police so far from the deceased doctor’s diary and her parents suggests that she was under a lot of stress and work pressure for the past few weeks. Being a second-year PGT doctor, she had already spent more than a year at the Government Medical College and Hospital. It is common for junior doctors in such institutions to work 36 hours continuously. She has written about the pressure in a diary. A person who worked with the rape and murder victim said, ‘We suspect that this was not a simple case of rape and murder or she was the victim of a sudden attack. She was targeted. How did the civil volunteer know that she was alone in the seminar hall at that time? He could be part of a conspiracy hatched by some big fish.’
Pointing towards drug racket
While others in the hospital pointed to a drug ‘racket’. Another colleague said that ‘there was talk of a possible drug peddling racket in her department, which she was trying to expose. There is a reason for us to doubt the issue because she was honest.’ Several colleagues said that the “punishment for overwork” was an “SOP” that was followed under the supervision of the previous management of RG Kar, led by former principal Sandip Ghosh. For faculty members who did not toe Ghosh’s line, it meant transfer and for MBBS students, it meant failing exams.
Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder Case: Suspicion deepens on the diary found near the dead body of the lady doctor, what is the secret behind the torn pages?
He discovered something he had not known before
The doctor’s parents told the police that she had discovered something she did not know. After being informed of their daughter’s death on August 9, the woman’s parents told the police that she had spoken to them about the immense work pressure. It was clear from her diary that some colleagues were pushing a lot of work on her. Before the case was handed over to the CBI, the parents had reportedly told the police that their daughter must have heard something in the department that she should not have heard. Colleagues and officials also pointed to several irregularities in the hospital and said that anyone who dared to stand up against the irregularities was “punished in some way or the other.”
