according to comprehensive reports, the protests triggered by the rape and murder of a female intern in india have not yet ended. the father of the murdered female doctor told reporters while participating in a protest outside the hospital where the incident occurred that the family originally wanted to keep their daughter's body after the incident, but about 300 to 400 police officers surrounded their home. under "tremendous pressure", he and his family hurriedly cremated their daughter's body against their will.

the victim's father said that when they were immersed in grief, a local police deputy chief gave them money. the cremation process was very hasty and the cremation fee was paid on their behalf, but he still doesn't know who exempted them from this fee.

the ruling trinamool congress (tmc) in west bengal, where the case took place, denied the allegations of the victim's family on september 5, indian time. the party also played a video at a press conference to refute the allegations of the victim's family. according to media reports, in the video recorded in august, the victim's father said that all the claims that they received bribes were groundless.

after the incident, protests and doctors' strikes continued across india. west bengal recently passed a new bill that can punish rape that causes the victim's death or vegetative state with the death penalty. in india, rape is punishable by 10 years or more in prison, with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment, but the new bill allows for the death penalty. however, the bill still needs to be approved by the president, because india's criminal law is uniformly applied throughout the country, but it is not ruled out that the president will make the bill an exception.

sanjoy roy, who was identified as the main suspect in the case, changed his confession in court and claimed to the judge that he was innocent. the results of psychological tests conducted on roy by a team of experts from the central forensic science laboratory (cfsl) of india showed that roy was a "pervert" with "animal instincts" and had no remorse during the interrogation. he "narrated the entire incident without emotion."
