Kolkata, August 19 – The autopsy report of a 31-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor from Kolkata’s R G Kar Medical College and Hospital has confirmed the horrifying details of her brutal rape and murder. The victim was found with over 14 injuries on her body, and the report has revealed the extreme violence she endured.

Autopsy Findings

The autopsy documented injuries on the victim’s head, face, neck, arms, and genitals, confirming the brutal nature of the assault. The report stated that the cause of death was manual strangulation due to smothering. Additionally, evidence of forceful penetration was found, further corroborating the sexual assault.

A white, thick, viscid liquid was discovered inside the victim’s genitalia, adding to the evidence of the assault. Severe trauma was recorded on her nose, right jaw, left arm, and shoulder, suggesting a violent struggle before she was overpowered. The autopsy also noted hemorrhaging in the lungs and blood clots, indicating extreme physical trauma.

Witnesses found the victim lying on a podium in a seminar hall, partially covered by a blue bed sheet. Her kurta was disheveled, and her trousers were missing. Nearby, investigators found her laptop, notebook, cellphone, and water bottle.

Despite being half-asleep, the victim fought back, leaving deep injury marks and scratches on the accused’s hands. A medical examination later confirmed that these scratches matched the skin and blood samples collected from under her fingernails.
