Kolkata/IBNS: A semi-nude body of a second-year female medical student at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College Hospital has triggered outrage in the city with many suspecting it to be an incident of rape and murder inside a government hospital. 

According to reports, the body of the 31-year-old post-graduate student had injury marks and was recovered under mysterious conditions.

The victim, who hailed from Sodepur near Kolkata, and was pursuing her post-graduation in Chest Medicine. She was on duty on Thursday night.

Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal visited the hospital and held a meeting with senior officers of the medical establishment.

A three-member panel has been constituted to investigate the death of the junior doctor.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee reportedly spoke to the victim's parents who demanded justice. "They killed my daughter. She was found disrobed. There are injury marks in her body and neck. She cannot be brought back, we want justice," the victim's mother told the mediapersons breaking down in tears. 

According to media reports, she had dinner with her juniors around 2 AM and then went to the seminar room.

Her body was found at the seminar room of the Emergency building by fellow students.

West Bengal Leader of Opposition Suvendu Adhikari has demanded a CBI inquiry into the incident suspecting it to be a case of rape and murder.

"This is a clear case of murder (with the probability of rape). The case should be immediately transferred to the CBI (@CBIHeadquarters). Instead the State Govt has formed a 11 member enquiry committee for this incident. Strangely some of the Committee members are Internees," he posted on X.
