Kolkata, Jan 18 (NationPress) With only a few hours remaining before a special court in Kolkata announces its ruling on the rape and murder of a female doctor from R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital last August, the entire court area has been heavily secured since early Saturday morning. Meanwhile, her parents made a heartfelt plea to the public, urging them not to cease their quest for justice.
Officers from Kolkata Police have established multiple layers of barricades throughout the court grounds, anticipating a significant turnout of citizens, civil society representatives, and members of the local medical community.
On Saturday morning, the victim's mother issued a poignant appeal via social media, asking the public to maintain their momentum even as the verdict approaches.
“If our beloved daughter does not receive justice, her lifelong dreams will remain unfulfilled. We hope that no other girl endures the suffering my daughter experienced. Those responsible must face severe consequences to ensure that no other family suffers as we have,” her message stated.
The family believes that the verdict announced on Saturday will mark a crucial step towards achieving justice.
“True justice will only be realized when all the masterminds behind this heinous crime are brought to light and held accountable. We must advocate not just for my daughter, but for the safety of all women,” her message continued.
“As a mother, I can only express the grief of losing everything. However, I will persevere in my fight for other daughters until justice is served,” she concluded.
On the evening prior, the victim's parents voiced concerns that their quest for justice might only result in the conviction of the “sole prime accused,” Sanjay Ray, a former civic volunteer with the Kolkata Police, leaving other suspected conspirators involved in tampering and altering evidence to avoid accountability.
