Kolkata Doctor Rape Murder: ‘Will Hurt My Daughter’, Victim’s Father Rejects Compensation

The father of the Kolkata trainee doctor who was brutally raped and murdered inside the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital has refused to accept compensation, stating it would dishonor his late daughter. Instead, he emphasized his desire for “justice.”

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is handling the case, met with the victim’s family on Thursday. While the father chose not to disclose the details of the meeting, he revealed that the CBI assured them of the imminent arrest of the accused.

The father expressed his gratitude to the public for their support during this difficult time. He acknowledged the global outcry and the widespread protests, thanking everyone who has shown solidarity. “I consider those who stand with us as my own children,” he said.
