On Saturday (9th August), the Kolkata police injured the mother of the junior doctor, who was raped and murdered by a civic volunteer of the police a year ago at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The incident occurred during a protest march to Nabanna (the state secretariat of the West Bengal government) on the first anniversary of the heinous crime.
In a picture shared by BJP leader Agnimitra Paul, the victim’s mother could be seen in a bruised state after being lathi-charged by the Kolkata police. She was seen with a large blood clot on her forehead.

The Mamata Banerjee-led TMC government has not confined itself to persecuting doctors through retaliatory transfers, dubious FIRs, police summons and lengthy court cases. It has stooped one level to assault even the mother of the RG Kar victim.
