"What Happened, Please Tell": 3 Chilling Calls To Kolkata Doctor's Parents

NDTV has now accessed audio of the three calls that parents of the 31-year-old doctor raped and murdered at the Kolkata hospital received that morning.

It was just another morning at the middle class household in north Kolkata. The daughter, who had made her parents proud by becoming a doctor and was studying further, was at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital for a long shift. Around 11.30 pm the previous night, she called her mother and spoke to her, as always. Her mother did not prolong the call. She would have, if she knew it was her last.

On the morning of August 9, three calls within half an hour shattered their little world of contentment and set them off on a fight for justice. NDTV has now accessed audio of the three calls -- in Bengali -- that parents of the 31-year-old doctor raped and murdered at the Kolkata hospital received that morning. Their voices capture the shock and confusion two elderly parents went through before they reached the hospital to find their daughter dead and brutalised.
