KOLKATA: The parents of the 31-year-old second-year PGT doctor from R G Kar Medical College & Hospital (RGKMC&H) welcomed chief minister Mamata Banerjee’s visit to the junior doctors’ sit-in protest at Salt Lake on Saturday, hoping it would help resolve the issue.
Accompanied by hundreds of people, the victim’s parents led a rally from their residence in Sodepur on Saturday afternoon, demanding justice for their daughter’s rape and murder.
CM made a surprise visit to the protest site near Swasthya Bhavan at Salt Lake and assured the junior doctors that she would look into their demands and take action if anyone was found guilty.
Addressing the protesting doctors amid chants of ‘we want justice’, Banerjee said that she was spending sleepless nights as the medicos were agitating on the road amid rain.

Reacting to the CM’s visit to meet the junior doctors, parents of the deceased doctor also expressed their hope for a fair resolution to the demands and issues raised by the protesting doctors. The victim’s mother said, “It’s very good that the CM went to listen to the demands by the medical students. We welcome this. Now, we want the CM to promptly and properly address the five-point demands of the doctors.”
Parents of the deceased post-graduate trainee doctor held a rally from their home in Sodepur’s Natagarh to Sodepur Traffic More on Saturday afternoon, in which hundreds of people, including the victim’s neighbours, relatives, friends and alumni from various schools and colleges in Sodepur, took part.
After the failure of the Nabanna meeting on Thursday, the CM said she was willing to resign. To this, the father of the deceased said, “How will resigning solve the problem? I don’t know what the CM was thinking when she said this.”
