The father of the trainee doctor who was brutally raped and murdered at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital&nbsp;alleged that his daughter's body was cremated hurriedly, even though there were already three other bodies at the crematorium.

"The crematorium had three other bodies, but our daughter's was burned first," he told ANI.

"The Chief Minister is talking about providing justice, but attempts are being made to put the common people demanding justice in jail. We are not satisfied with Mamata Banerjee and have refused to take any compensation," he said.

"The Chief Minister makes public statements demanding justice for my daughter but at the same time appears to suppress public outrage. Why this inconsistency? Is she afraid of public opinion? We need clear answers," the victim's father said, speaking to reporters in Kolkata on Sunday (August 18).

He also claimed that the West Bengal government is obstructing statewide protests over his daughter's death. "Protesters are being silenced by the Chief Minister. She protests publicly herself, yet is working to prevent others from doing the same," he added.

The victim's mother has appealed to West Bengal residents, particularly those benefitting from government schemes like Kanyashree and Lakshmi Bhandar.

"She (Mamata Banerjee) promised that the perpetrator would be swiftly arrested, but only one person has been detained so far. I believe there are many more involved and that the entire department is at fault. The police response was inadequate. It seems the Chief Minister is trying to curb the protests—today she imposed Section 144 to prevent public demonstrations," she said.

These comments came shortly after Kolkata Police imposed prohibitory orders around RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, banning gatherings of more than five people.

The area has been a focal point of protests following the tragic incident, with police enforcing Section 163 (2) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita around the hospital and extending the restrictions up to the Shyambazar five-point crossing.

Kolkata rape case: Victim’s father accuses officials of rushed cremation, slams CM Mamata Banerjee

In a shocking twist to the Kolkata rape and murder case, the parents of the victim told the Calcutta High Court Wednesday (Aug 14) that a significant amount of semen was found in her body, implying gang rape.

In their petition, the parents cited the autopsy report while claiming that 150 mg of semen was found in the victim’s body, "a quantity suggesting involvement of more than one individual,” further corroborating the suspicion of gang rape. The post-mortem report clearly said that the cause of the death was strangulation of the neck and “there are clear signs of sexual assault,” said the petition.

“Their daughter's body bore several injury marks, indicating a brutal and violent attack," the petition said.

It must be noted that the authorities in the West Bengal state, where the crime happened, earlier arrested one individual named Sanjoy Roy before the case was handed over to the federal agency Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).

“No step taken to arrest any other offenders while the evidence clearly indicates that their daughter was the victim of a gang rape and murder, a crime that could not have been committed by one person alone," the parents' petition said.

<h2>Court reprimands hospital administration</h2>

Earlier, the Calcutta High Court severely reprimanded the hospital authorities and RG Kar Medical College’s former principal Dr Sandip Ghosh for not diligently handling the sensitive case. The court asked why the administration didn’t file a police complaint after the body of the girl was found dead.

The parents in their petition said, "they have come to learn through reliable sources that evidence exists on record suggesting that at least three individuals were involved in the strangulation of their daughter". "The significant amount of semen found in her body further supports the involvement of multiple perpetrators," they told the court.

The parents also alleged inconsistencies in the autopsy report.

"Improper autopsy was done with a view to shield the others involved in their daughter's death," they said in the petition.

The rape and murder case has caused a massive uproar all over the country, with some demanding West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee tender her resignation.

<h2>Mamata responds</h2>

The CM on Wednesday condemned 'cheap politics' over the matter.&nbsp;

“Instead of standing with the (woman’s) family, CPI(M) and BJP are indulging in cheap politics. They think they can do a Bangladesh here. But let me tell you, I am not greedy for power,”&nbsp;Banerjee said. The statement came after&nbsp;BJP supporters held a protest march in the city.

Earlier, the leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, also broke his silence over the matter and wished for speedy investigation into the matter, while criticising the local administration and state government.

"The attempt to save the accused instead of providing justice to the victim raises serious questions on the hospital and the local administration," Gandhi said.

Kolkata rape-murder: 150mg of semen found in girl’s body, parents suspect gangrape

The post-mortem of a female trainee doctor found dead at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in the Indian city of&nbsp;Kolkata has confirmed that she was sexually assaulted before being murdered, media reports said while citing a senior police official on Saturday (August 10).

The 31-year-old, a second-year post-graduate medical student, was last seen studying in the seminar hall on the third floor of the state-run hospital late Thursday (August 8) night. She was discovered unconscious the following morning.

Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Kumar Goyal confirmed that a case of rape and murder has been registered, and one person has been arrested in connection with the crime.&nbsp;

"A board of three doctors conducted the post-mortem examination, which was fully documented through videography. Students and family members were present as witnesses during the proceedings," Goyal said.

Goyal further added that the post-mortem revealed signs of sexual assault, with injuries found on the victim's private parts, face, lips, neck, stomach, fingers, and ankle. "For us, he is the criminal of the highest order. We will ensure he receives the strictest punishment," he&nbsp;said, adding that the police have "strong" evidence against the suspect.

The arrested individual is reportedly an outsider with unrestricted access to various hospital departments.

In response to the incident, junior doctors across West Bengal staged protests on Saturday (August 10) and demanded exemplary punishment for those involved.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee condemned the incident as "unfortunate and despicable," while addressing the anger among the victim's colleagues.&nbsp;

Speaking to a local TV channel, Banerjee assured that the case would be taken to a fast-track court and the accused would face the harshest possible punishment, including the death penalty if necessary. "I spoke to the victim's family and assured them of proper action," she said.

Banerjee also appealed to the protesting doctors to ensure patient care is not compromised during their demonstrations.

Leader of the Opposition&nbsp;in the West Bengal Legislative Assembly and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader&nbsp;Suvendu Adhikari has called for a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) inquiry into the case. He raised concerns over the mysterious circumstances surrounding the trainee doctor's death and slammed the state government's handling of the investigation.

Adhikari took to&nbsp;X (formerly Twitter) and said, "The body of the second-year postgraduate student at RG Kar Medical College was found with injury marks. Unconfirmed reports suggest signs of strangulation and traces of seminal fluid. This appears to be a clear case of murder, possibly involving rape. The case should be immediately transferred to the CBI."
