Parents of RG Kar victim await justice 16 months on
A long time ago, a young doctor was hurt very badly at her workplace.
Her parents are still waiting for the bad person to be punished.
They go to court every day, but the case keeps getting delayed.
They have changed their lawyers many times because they feel their voices aren't being heard.
They are very sad and tired, but they keep fighting for their daughter.
They remember her every day and want everyone to remember what happened to her.
They are doing this all by themselves because many people who promised to help have gone away.
Parents of a 32-year-old postgraduate resident doctor have been fighting for justice for 16 months after her rape and murder at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
They have changed five lawyers, feeling their voices were not adequately represented in court.
The CBI sought the death penalty for convict Sanjoy Roy, but his appeal for acquittal is pending before the Calcutta High Court.
The parents fund their legal battle and household expenses through their limited savings and a small garments business.
Despite facing delays and losing support from initial allies, the parents remain determined to keep their daughter's memory alive and continue their fight for justice.
