The trainee doctor was brutally raped and murdered during her night shift at RG Kar Hospital on August 9. Later, the seminaked body of the 32-year-old woman was found in the seminar hall of the government-run hospital in Kolkata. A civic volunteer was arrested in connection with the crime the next day. The accused had a history of visiting the hospital and the red-light district. He confessed to the crime after being apprehended based on CCTV footage.
The incident sparked widespread outrage and prompted the state government to hand over the case to the CBI. Several politicians and activists had alleged that multiple people were involved in the crime and that the hospital administration had attempted to cover up the incident.
