RG Kar Victim's Parents Yet To Receive Death Certificate
Kolkata: The parents of the PG female doctor who was raped and murdered at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital last year, have stated that they have still not received a copy of the death certificate of their daughter.
The body of the victim was recovered from a seminar hall within the premises of the state-run institution early on August 9 last year.
The victim's parents have alleged that they have been unable to get the death certificate till now as the RG Kar and Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) authorities are shifting the responsibility onto each other, news agency IANS reported.
According to them, the KMC authorities are claiming that since the "place of death" is RG Kar, it is the responsibility of the hospital authorities to provide the death certificate.
