"Who told the woman's parents that it was a suicide?" Smriti Irani raises questions in Kolkata rape-murder case

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], August 16 : Raising critical questions in the RG Medical College rape and murder case, Union Minister Smriti Irani on Friday called for a thorough investigation into the allegations surrounding the incident.
Speaking on Friday, Irani demanded answers to several pressing questions raised by media reports.
"As per media reports, blood was oozing out of her body. The question arises did no one hear the screams of that woman on that floor? .... Is this the work of one rapist? Union Minister Smriti Irani asked.
The Minister also demanded accountability from the police, stating, "Who is the one because of whom the rapist was assured in the hospital that he could return home after committing the rape? Who is the one who continued the renovation on the same floor of the hospital even after such a heinous crime? What action has been taken so far against the officer in the police who called the parents of this woman and told them that the girl had committed suicide? Who instructed that officer to tell the girl's parents that it was a suicide? If that officer is his superior officer, then how did he reach this conclusion?"

Meanwhile, as many as 25 people have been arrested in connection with the vandalism by an unidentified mob at the RG Kar Hospital campus on August 14, causing damage to the protest site, vehicles, and public property.
