Kolkata rape-murder case: Doctor's family under house arrest, claims Congress leader

Kolkata rape-murder case: Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury alleged that the police had offered the father money for cremating the body quickly.

West Bengal Congress president Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury on Saturday claimed that the parents of the trainee doctor who was allegedly raped and killed at a hospital in Kolkata are being kept under virtual "house arrest" by the authorities.

"I visited the family of the deceased doctor at their residence and spoke to them for a long time. The police have kept the family under house arrest. They are not allowing them to come out of the house on the pretext of various excuses. The police have created a barricade around them, the CISF has no clue about this," Chowdhury told reporters.
