The mother of the trainee doctor who was brutally raped and murdered at the RG Kar Medical School and Hospital last month has called out West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for lying. The victim's mother said the family was offered money.
Notably, the father of the32-year-old doctor alleged last week that the Kolkata Police attempted to cover up the case and offered them money to keep quiet.
"The chief minister is lying. She said that you will get the compensation, and you can build something in memory of your daughter. I had said then that when my daughter gets justice, I will come to your office and take the compensation," the mother said.
"It seems inhuman to me because I am the mother of a girl. I have lost a child, so I feel inhuman. If people from all over the country want to return for the (Durga Puja) festival, they can," she added.

What did Mamata say?
Earlier on Monday (Sep 9), Mamata dismissed allegations that Kolkata Police offered bribe to the parents of the victims and called the accusations, slander against her government.
"I have never offered money to the deceased doctor's family, this is nothing but slander," said Mamata.
"I had told the parents that money can never compensate for a life, but if they ever feel they want to do something meaningful in memory of their daughter, they could reach out to me, as the government stands by their side," she added.
The Trinamool Congress (TMC) leader also alleged that a "conspiracy" was being hatched by the centre, involving the left parties, against her government.
Not the first instance
This is not the first time that Mamata has been called out by the victim's mother. Previously, the mother said she did not like the threat that Mamata had given to the doctors at one of her rallies.
"I didn't like what she [Mamata] said yesterday. The whole world stands by my daughter. They are protesting, agitating for justice. And she says we do not want justice," the mother said.
During one of the rallies, Mamata said the protesting doctors should return to duty or otherwise an FIR would be filed against them which could ruin their future.
