In her rebuttal of CM Mamata’s assertion, the junior physician’s mom stated the DC (North) of Kolkata Police, too, had supplied compensation after her daughter’s physique reached their dwelling on the night of Aug 9.
A TOI report on Aug 16, coinciding with widespread protests over the rape-murder, quoted the sufferer’s father as saying he had declined financial help as “it would harm my daughter if I settle for compensation for her dying”. The sufferer’s mom stated Mamata’s name on Monday for protests to finish and a “return to festivities” amounted to “attempting to strangle the motion for justice”.
