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.
The initial autopsy report found her body had several injury marks.
The report states that the victim was bleeding from eyes, mouth and private parts. Injury marks were visible on the face, lips, neck, nails, stomach, right-hand ring finger, left leg and left leg ankle, reported The Telegraph.
One person has been detained in connection with the suspected rape and murder of a second-year female medical student.
Police were led to the arrest of Sanjoy Roy by a bluetooth headset which was lying next to the victim's body.
The same bluetooth headset was seen on Sanjoy's neck while entering the building but was missing when he left.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday said her administration will handover the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation if her police fail to solve it within a week.
Banerjee, who last week said she had no objection to the CBI probe into the case, set Sunday (August 18) as the deadline for the police to solve the case.
Speaking to the media, Banerjee said, "I want the police to arrest all guilty people as soon as possible. If police can't solve the case by Sunday, we will transfer the case to the CBI.
"I have no interest in keeping the case with the police. But the CBI's success rate is poor. They haven't been able to solve the previous cases. People haven't got justice through the CBI probe. But still we will hand over the case to the CBI for the sake of people's satisfaction."
