Kolkata Horror: Police Summons TMC Leader, Two Doctors Over Spreading Misinformation

Kolkata: Kolkata Police has summoned two doctors, Kunal Sarkar and  Subarno Goswami, regarding the alleged spread of misinformation surrounding the rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

Along with the two doctors, a BJP Leader and former MP has also been summoned by Kolkata Police in connection with revealing the identity of the victim.  

As per the notice, all the summoned persons are requested to appear before the police at 3 pm today for questioning.  

Senior Trinamool Congress leader and Rajya Sabha MP Sukhendu Sekhar Ray has received a notice from the Kolkata Police for tweeting "incorrect information" regarding the investigation into the RG Kar hospital rape and murder case. He has been summoned to the police headquarters at 4 pm today.

Dr Goswami in conversation with several media outlets claimed that he had seen the post-mortem report. He claimed that the autopsy report revealed shocking details, including the presence of 150 grams of semen, a fractured pelvic bone, and evidence of gang rape.

However, Dr Goswami, Deputy Chief Medical Officer of Purba Bardhaman district, said that he is yet to receive the summons.
"I am yet to receive anything. I do not know why Kolkata Police will issue summons to me when they are not investigating the case. I have been saying that I will cooperate with the probe in every possible manner. I didn't reveal the identity of the victim or spread any rumour," Dr Goswami said. 

Outrage has surged across the country following the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. On August 9, the body of the 31-year-old medic was discovered in a semi-naked state in the seminar hall of the hospital.
Autopsy reports reveal that the victim was sexually assaulted and then murdered. Her neck was broken, and she suffered severe injuries, with multiple body parts, including her private areas, bleeding.  

Sanjoy Roy, a civic worker, has been arrested in the crime. Roy has confessed to the crime but reportedly shows no remorse, according to local media.

In response to the widespread outrage, the Calcutta High Court transferred the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on August 13, amid a nationwide call for justice.
