As trial begins, RG Kar victim's father deposes

KOLKATA: The elderly father of the RG Kar rape-murder victim deposed as the trial began in camera in a Sealdah court on Monday. About two hours later, as main accused Sanjay Roy was being led out, a commotion ensued, even while he kept shouting that he had been “framed” by some police officers.

Soon after the proceedings, the PGT doctor’s father started his deposition, with tears in his eyes. The court, which heard two witnesses on the first day, fell silent as he narrated his daughter’s ordeal. The other person who deposed during the day was a local resident of Sodepur, where the victim’s family stays. Two doctors are set to testify on Tuesday.
