OPINION | Threats won’t work: Mamata will have to win the trust of doctors

The revelation made in three phone-conversation audio clips between an official of Kolkata’s R.G.Hospital and the parents of the junior doctor, who was brutally raped and murdered, exposes the lies peddled by the hospital authorities and Kolkata Police that the parents were never told it was a suicide. On Thursday, CBI sleuths questioned the staff of hospital mortuary. From evidence found till now, the main accused Sanjay Roy reached the hospital on the night of crime in a motorbike, parked it, and went straight to the seminar hall on third floor, where the victim was sleeping. Two security guards were present near the third floor gate, but they did not stop Sanjay Roy. CBI has so far conducted polygraph test on ten persons and is trying to find the missing pieces in the jigsaw puzzle. But the most important evidence is the audio recordings of the purported conversation between the hospital official and the parents.  During the phone calls, the parents were first told by the assistant superintendent that their daughter was not well, and in the second call, the parents were told, her condition was critical. In the third call, the parents were told, she had committed suicide. The parents were told that police was present in the hospital. When the distraught parents reached the hospital, they were not allowed to go near the daughter’s body for nearly three hours. What happened during these crucial hours? How were the evidences at the crime scene tampered with? What was the role of Kolkata Police ? Trinamool Congress leader Kunal Ghosh questioned the authenticity of the audio clips. He challenged CBI to come out with the status of its probe.
