Kolkata doctor rape-murder: Victim's father turns down compensation, demands justice
Kolkata doctor rape-murder case
The father of a trainee doctor, brutally raped and murdered inside a state-run Kolkata hospital, has rejected compensation offered by the authorities. He insists that monetary compensation is not what he seeks, but rather justice for his deceased daughter.
"I have denied to take the compensation. It will hurt my daughter if I accept money as compensation for her death. I want justice," he told reporters.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that is probing the rape and murder case, met with the deceased's family on Thursday (Aug 15).
