Dr Apurba Biswas summoned again by CBI
The latest developments in the chilling case of a female doctor’s rape and murder in Kolkata, where forensic pathologist Dr Apurba Biswas faces renewed questioning by the CBI.
In the latest twist in the tragic saga of the medical community’s darkest hour, the forensic pathologist, Dr Apurba Biswas, has once again been summoned by the CBI in connection with the horrific rape and murder of a female doctor. The good doctor made his appearance at the CGO Complex on Friday, as if he were part of some sort of bizarre episode of a crime drama rather than a real-life tragedy.
Dr Apurba Biswas, who previously conducted the autopsy on the deceased physician, has already been questioned on multiple occasions, raising eyebrows and questions like a bad magician’s disappearing act. He has claimed that he faced undue pressure to conduct the autopsy in record time. He even alleged that he was threatened with the rather dramatic warning of ‘letting the blood flow like a river’ if he didn’t comply. Quite the colourful metaphor, wouldn’t you say?
Standing outside the CGO Complex, Dr Apurba Biswas narrated the harrowing tale of receiving threats from a man claiming to be the victim’s uncle. Apparently, this individual insisted that he hurry along with the autopsy. “If I didn’t finish it quickly, I’d be held responsible for a bloodbath!” said Dr Biswas, making the situation sound like the plot of a soap opera rather than a serious investigation.
Naturally, this intriguing testimony has ignited a fresh wave of speculation. Who exactly is this so-called ‘uncle’? Whispers in various circles pointed to a certain Sanjeev, whom the victim referred to as ‘Kaku’ (uncle), but he has been quick to deny any involvement. “Is it really fair that what the good doctor says becomes gospel truth while I’m left standing in the dock?” he quipped, insisting that he couldn’t possibly have recognised the doctor in such a large hospital. “How could I know who would perform the autopsy? I was simply there to sign a few documents after the cremation.”
For those of us trying to keep up, let’s recap: not only was Sanjeev present during the cremation, but his signature appears on the documentation. When asked about this, he claimed, “Oh, my dear! The poor father was beside himself with grief. I merely helped out in the confusion. Who could think straight at a time like that?”
Meanwhile, the CBI has taken the investigation up a notch, having arrested two individuals: the former head of the hospital, Sandeep Ghosh, and the former officer-in-charge of the Tala police station, Abhijit Mondal. The police had previously apprehended the main suspect, a civic volunteer, leaving many scratching their heads and wondering how many more twists and turns this case could possibly take.
With Dr Apurba Biswas being summoned yet again, one can’t help but feel like we’re all part of an ill-fated courtroom drama, where the lines between fact and fiction are as blurry as a dodgy CCTV image. As he entered the CBI office, he chose to remain tight-lipped, perhaps pondering whether he’d end up the star of this tragic tale or merely a supporting character in a drama gone awry.
So, why the rush to conduct the autopsy in the first place? Why the haste to cremate the body? These questions linger in the air like a bad smell from an overcooked curry. The unfolding drama continues to captivate the public, leaving many to wonder just how deep the rabbit hole goes in this tragic medical mystery.
As the investigation unfolds, let’s hope the truth comes to light and justice is served, for the sake of the victim, her family, and indeed, the integrity of the medical profession in Kolkata. After all, one would hope that such ghastly incidents remain confined to the pages of sensational novels rather than our real lives.
