Kolkata, 22nd Oct. The father of the deceased woman doctor from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital has reached out to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, expressing immense mental pressure and a feeling of helplessness in the wake of their daughter’s tragic death. In a letter written on Tuesday, the bereaved father sought an appointment with Shah, hoping for guidance and support during this difficult time.
“I am the father of Abhaya, and I am writing to respectfully request an appointment with you at your convenience… We have been going through tremendous mental pressure and feeling helpless now,” the letter stated. He emphasized the urgency of the situation, adding that both he and his wife wished to discuss their plight and receive Shah’s guidance in their quest for justice.
Later, speaking to PTI, the mother of the deceased expressed her hope that the Union Home Minister would grant them a meeting. “I will tell him the mental agony we have been going through because our daughter is yet to get justice,” she said.
The body of the on-duty woman doctor was found in a semi-nude state on August 9 in the seminar hall of RG Kar Hospital, leading to a widespread uproar among the medical fraternity. Junior doctors initiated a 42-day ‘cease-work’ strike across West Bengal, demanding justice for the victim, increased security in hospitals, and the recruitment of permanent women police officers.
The Kolkata Police arrested one civic volunteer before the case was transferred to the CBI, following an order from the Calcutta High Court. Subsequently, the CBI arrested the former principal of RG Kar Medical College, Sandip Ghosh, and the now-suspended officer-in-charge of Tala Police Station, Abhijit Mondal.
On October 5, junior medics began a hunger strike after the state government failed to meet their 24-hour deadline for fulfilling their demands. The hunger strike was called off on the 17th day after a meeting with West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, where assurances were made to address the grievances.
The medics also canceled their proposed statewide health sector shutdown, which was slated to begin on Tuesday for an indefinite period.
