In front of a magistrate, an autopsy was performed on Thursday at the JNM hospital in Kalyani on the victim of the Krishnanagar rape and murder. According to Dr. Soumyajyoti Bandhopadhyay, who performed the autopsy, “anti-mortem traces” were discovered in the victim’s body. The doctor stated, “It is confirmed that the death occurred due to burning, but we will conduct a few more tests.” ADG South Bengal Supratim Sarkar told reporters that police will also ask CID for assistance.
“A SIT has been formed and SP of Krishnanagar Amarnath K. will lead the team. We will also take help from CID. The victim’s boyfriend Rahul Basu has been arrested and today after being produced to court he was given seven days police custody. He needs to be probed more,” added Sarkar.
On the other hand, the victim’s mother demanded CBI probe in her daughter’s rape and murder incident.
“Police have cooperated so far. But in keeping with the various incidents that are taking place we want a CBI probe so that strict punishment is given to the culprits. Rahul alone didn’t commit the crime. There is involvement of more people. I want to move Calcutta High Court demanding a CBI probe in the matter,” said the victim’s mother.
At the scene of the body’s discovery, a forensic team accompanied by sniffing dogs was also observed. Sources claim that two match boxes and a bottle were found at the location. In the meantime, the junior physicians will protest the rapes and killings occurring around the state on October 19 by holding the “NyayBichar Yatra” from Sodepur to Esplanade.
“We have started a mass signature campaign in favour of implementing our 10 demands. We got to know that the CCTV cameras that are being installed are temporary. By just giving an eye wash the state government cannot force us to withdraw the hunger strike,” said a protesting junior medic.
Notably, one of the protesting doctors who was on hunger strike, Dr. Aniket Mahata on Thursday got released from the hospital and has been asked to take rest.
