"CBI has presented two drastically different reports in the Calcutta High Court and the Sealdah district Court. We will tell this today in the High Court that two different status reports are being presented... Even Supreme Court judges could not believe the gravity of the report submitted to them. We had faith in the CBI, but now we are losing all hope."
He stated that the CBI possesses knowledge about the individuals responsible for his daughter's rape and murder but is concealing crucial information, leading to his diminished faith in the investigating body.
"CBI knows the perpetrators behind the rape and murder of my daughter but it is not revealing the details...," he said.
He raised apprehensions about possible unauthorised handling of his daughter's mobile phone. His concerns stemmed from information received from his daughter's friend about her departure from their social circle. He emphasised that her mobile device contains vital evidence.
He additionally expressed his complete loss of trust in the judicial process.
"My daughter's friends visited me two days ago and showed that somebody has accessed her phone to leave their common WhatsApp group. The CBI has her phone but they deny having it. Her mobile phone has all the answers. I have no faith in anyone in the Indian legal system anymore,' he said.
The incident at RG Kar Medical College occurred on August 9, 2024, when authorities discovered the lifeless body of a 31-year-old female postgraduate trainee doctor in a seminar room within the campus.
The incident sparked nationwide demonstrations and public outcry, with citizens demanding swift justice for the deceased.
Following the Calcutta High Court's disapproval of the local police investigation, the case was reassigned to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). Subsequently, the CBI apprehended multiple suspects, including the primary accused, Sanjay Roy, who received a conviction for the offence.
The Supreme Court conducted proceedings in a suo motu case regarding the assault and killing of the trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The victim's parents received legal representation from Senior Advocate Karuna Nundy.
