NEW DELHI: Police have arrested one person in connection with the murder of a woman postgraduate trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, a senior officer said on Saturday. The man was an outsider who had free access to the different departments of the hospital, he said.
"We have arrested one person, who is an outsider. His activities are quite suspicious and he seems to be directly involved in the crime," a senior police officer said.
The victim, a second-year student of the chest medicine department, was reportedly on duty on Thursday night when the incident occurred.
Her semi-nude body was found in the seminar hall of the state-run hospital, displaying injury marks.
The police also spent Friday night questioning two intern doctors in connection with the ongoing investigation.
The victim's father has alleged that his daughter was raped and murdered inside the hospital, and that there were efforts underway to hide the truth.
Preliminary autopsy reports confirmed that the woman doctor was sexually assaulted before her death, according to police reports.
