As a fellow member of the medical fraternity, I am beset with profound anguish and a deep sense of loss, knowing intimately the arduous journey and unwavering dedication required to attain the esteemed position of a postgraduate physician.
The mere thought of Dr. Moumita's truncated career and brutal fate is suffocating, and I can only begin to fathom the unmitigated despair that her parents must be enduring.
This thread serves as a cathartic expression of my turbulent emotions, as my heart is heavy with grief and my mind is reeling in turmoil.
I can only hope for her eternal repose and a corresponding abyss of retribution for the culprits . 🕊️

If this happens to a educated women of the India , imagine what happens everyday to the ones don't have a voice. I'm shaken to the core, utterly disgusted and enraged
It's heartbreaking to note that Dr. Moumita's tragic experience is not an isolated incident.
Other doctors, including Dr. Aradhya, Dr. Priyanka Reddy, Dr. Shweta Sinha, and Dr. Anjali Sinha, have faced similar traumas.
My thoughts are with their families, who must be going through unimaginable pain and distress. Certainly! Here’s are some

The Indian Medical Association (IMA) announced a 24-hour nationwide strike by doctors of modern medicine across India in protest against the crime in Kolkata.
The protest began at 6 am on August 17 and concluded at 6 am on August 18.
Mamata Banerjee has scheduled a rally today to advocate for expedited trials and has issued an ultimatum to the CBI to conclude the investigation by August 18.
In the political arena, Banerjee's allied parties, including the CPM and the Leftist Socialist Unity Centre of India, are calling for her resignation, intensifying the political pressure surrounding the case.
The High Court has strongly criticized Mamata Banerjee and the State Police for their evident failure to manage the situation.
The Court remarked, "It is hard to believe that the police were unaware of the unfolding events," especially given that Section 144, which restricts large public gatherings, was in effect at the time.
The court admonished the police, stating, "You should have cordoned off the area."
It further condemned the situation as "an absolute failure of state machinery," questioning, "So, the police couldn't protect their own personnel? This is a deplorable state of affairs.
How can doctors work fearlessly under such conditions?" The Court also demanded to know, "What preventive measures are being implemented?"
To date, 19 individuals from the mob have been arrested.
On the night of August 15, a staggering force of 7,000 people was mobilized—whether through orchestration or negligence remains unclear—to obliterate all evidence and destroy crucial proof within the college.
Despite the gravity of the situation, the police were either unable or unwilling to intervene, leaving the community in a state of deep dismay and frustration.
The troubling question lingers: did the State Police truly lack the capacity to act, or were they simply constrained by unseen forces? This uncertainty only deepens the anguish and sense of betrayal felt by those seeking justice.
In the wake of the tragic events, the parents voiced their profound distrust in the State Police, fearing that the investigation would falter and the perpetrators would evade justice. Seeking redress, they met with Mamata Banerjee, the Home and Health Minister of Bengal, on August 12.
Mamata responded with urgency, instructing the state police to conclude the investigation by August 18.
Yet, just a day later, on August 13, the Court took a decisive step by ordering a CBI probe, intensifying the quest for truth and justice amidst the family’s overwhelming grief and anxiety.
CCTV footage has unveiled the identity of the prime suspect, Sanjay Roy, a Civic Assistant who has been remanded to police custody until August 23. Sanjay has confessed to the grievous crime, marking him as the sole individual apprehended thus far. This revelation has intensified the family's anguish and fueled a collective demand for justice, as the community grapples with the profound betrayal and horror of the situation.
The preliminary autopsy uncovered harrowing details:
- An alarming 150 grams of semen was discovered in her body, far exceeding the typical 15 grams produced by an average male.
- Her eyes were severely affected, with the lenses from her glasses having shattered and embedded in her eyes, causing significant bleeding.
- Her lips were battered, and there were unmistakable signs of a violent struggle.
- The evidence indicated that her death occurred between 3 and 5 AM on August 9, 2024.
These findings unequivocally pointed to a horrific sexual assault, leaving the family and community to grapple with profound and unimaginable sorrow.
When the family was finally allowed to view their daughter's body, they were confronted with a distressing sight: her body lay uncovered.
Additionally, her legs were positioned at a right angle, suggesting severe trauma to her pelvic girdle.
It was deeply troubling to discover that her body was not found in the seminar room where she had gone to rest, but rather in the room across the hall, where construction work was underway.
This revelation only deepened their anguish and confusion, leaving them to grapple with the chilling inconsistencies surrounding her death.
On the morning of August 9th, Assistant Superintendent Dwaipayan Biswas informed the family that their beloved daughter had tragically died by suicide. When the grieving family arrived at the hospital, they were subjected to the indignity of waiting outside for three hours. Throughout this agonizing period, they were denied access to their daughter’s body, further compounding their heartbreak and distress.

On the night of August 8th, a 31-year-old female doctor diligently completed her duty, as she had done countless times before. After finishing her shift, she shared a quiet meal with her juniors at 2 AM. Exhausted from the long hours, she sought a moment of rest. With no designated room provided for doctors, she settled down to sleep in the seminar room, a makeshift refuge for those who work tirelessly through the night. Little did she know, this would be the last time she closed her eyes with a sense of routine comfort.
