Psychologist’s Statements Could Provide Vital Clues in R.G. Kar Rape and Murder Case

Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is likely to gain significant insights from the statement of a renowned psychologist who had provided counseling to the victim of the R.G. Kar rape and murder case just months before the tragedy occurred. This newly surfaced information may play a crucial role in the ongoing investigation.

Psychologist’s Statement on Victim’s Complaints and Alleged Harassment

The psychologist, who voluntarily approached the victim’s family and close associates, revealed critical details about the counseling sessions he held with the victim prior to her death. According to the counselor, the victim, a woman doctor, had sought counseling due to psychological fatigue caused by severe sleep deprivation. She cited “sustained and prolonged duty hours” as the primary cause of her stress.

The counselor further claimed that the victim confided in him, explaining that these excessive duty hours were imposed on her after she started protesting against mismanagement and irregularities by some senior staff members at the hospital.

Counselor Promises to Share Findings in Court

The counselor has assured the victim’s parents that he is willing to share the details of these counseling sessions in court, should the opportunity arise. His statement is expected to provide significant leads to the CBI, especially concerning the angle of evidence tampering and alterations during the initial investigation.
