Three days after the ‘Nabanna Abhijan’ called by the parents of the R G Kar rape-murder victim, the deceased doctor’s father has filed a police complaint alleging attack on his wife by Kolkata Police personnel.

Filing an online complaint on Monday, he requested that police treat it as an FIR.

The complaint stated: “(She) was attacked by Kolkata Police personnel without any provocation when we were taking part in a peaceful protest march on August 9. We had started walking from Esplanade Dorina Crossing at 1.15 pm… When we reached the Kyd Street-Jawaharlal Nehru Road Crossing at around 2 pm, a group of policemen dragged my wife by holding her right hand — because of which the white conch shell bangle (shankha in Bengali) was broken. Then she was attacked… and a policeman hit her badly on her head and upper back with a baton.”

According to him, the attack was “deliberate” and “premeditated” with the motive “to cause serious injury… which could have even led to her death.” The letter added that she suffered head trauma, was admitted to hospital, underwent a CT scan, and is now recuperating at home.

On August 9, the first death anniversary of the victim of the rape and murder at R G Kar Medical College and Hospital, the parents led a protest rally demanding justice. Police used tear gas and resorted to lathi charge.
