Making a shocking revelation in the Rape & Murder of a 31-year-old doctor at RG Kar medical college & hospital, the family recently accused the Kolkata Police of trying to suppress the case by hastily cremating the doctor’s body.

According to PTI, during the protests at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, where the body was discovered on August 9, the family demanded justice and alleged that a senior police officer had tried to bribe them after the incident became known.

“The police, from the very beginning, tried to hush up the case. We were not allowed to see the body and had to wait at the police station while the body was taken for post-mortem examinations. Later, when the body was handed over to us, a senior police official offered us money, which we immediately declined.” said deceased’s father. Reports PTI.
