'She's extremely unwell, come quickly': How RG Kar hospital misled parents of Kolkata rape-murder victim

The parents of the 31-year-old trainee doctor, who was allegedly raped and murdered at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, were misguided by the hospital authorities who did not inform them of the actual situation.

CNN-News18 accessed two audio clips that reveal how the victim's parents were mislead initially. In one of the clips, the assistant superintendent of RG Kar Hospital can be heard telling the victim's father that his daughter is “extremely unwell and has been hospitalised”. The second clip has the voice of a man who tells the girl's parents that she has died by suicide and they should quickly come over to the hospital.

The body of the trainee doctor was found inside the seminar hall of the state-run hospital. She was allegedly raped and murdered when she had gone there to take some rest during her graveyard shift in the early hours of August 9.

In the first clip, the assistant superintendent informs the victim's father that his daughter's condition is really bad. "Your daughter has been hospitalised, please come quickly," she said. As her father seeks to know further details, the woman says: “I am not a doctor, I am an assistant superintendent; your daughter has been admitted to the emergency, her condition is very bad. A doctor will tell you more about this.”
