A 31-year-old trainee doctor named Moumita Debnath was brutally murdered, shocking India and the international community.
On 9 August 2024, Dr. Moumita Debnath, a second-year postgraduate trainee (PGT) doctor at R.G. Kar Medical College in North Kolkata, was reported missing by colleagues.
At about 11:30 am, the trainee doctor’s body was discovered in one of college’s seminar rooms in an almost n@ked state with her eyes, mouth and genitals bleeding.
She was later declared d£@d.
Police initially told the victim’s father she had died by su!cide. But an autopsy later confirmed the victim had been r@p£d and s*xually ass@ulted before being k!lled via strangulation.
The victims’ parents believe multiple people were involved based on the postmortem.
Yet, police have not made arrests beyond a man named Sanjay Roy, whose bluetooth headset they found near the victim’s body.
150g of s£men was reportedly found in her body. An average male can have only 15g, meaning about 10 men might be involved in the attack.
What truly painted the horror of that night was the grim details that emerged from her autopsy report.
The four-page report reveals the unimaginable brutality inflicted upon her, describing how she was not only r@ped but also subjected to gruesome physical t0rtur£ before being suff0c@ted to d£@th.
The report detailed that she was str@ngled, her thyroid cartilage shattered, and her body bore multiple injuries, including severe bruises on her lips, fingers, and abdomen. Her head had been v!olently sl@mmed against a wall or floor, and her mouth and nose were forcefully covered to silence her cries for help.
The young doctor fought desperately for her life, evident from the cuts on her hands and face, but she was overpowered and subjected to unspeakable violence.
Shards of glass from her broken spectacles were found lodged in her eyes. The report confirmed that she sustained these injuries while still alive, with clear evidence of s£xual ass@ult. The bl£eding from her mouth, eyes, and pr!vate areas painted a chilling picture of the ordeal she faced before her life ended.
Her legs were also pulled apart till her pelvis broke.
This level of brutality has shocked the country.
Junior doctors and interns have united to demand justice for her.
Students of Islamic University also carried out a demonstration to demand justice for her.
