Hindustan Times|December 28, 2024
The Multi Institutional Medical Board (MIMB) has indicated that a single person could have been responsible for the rape and murder of a junior doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, offering a counter to claims by doctors who alleged multiple perpetrators were involved.

"Considering the spectrum of injuries, which are present over face and neck region and genitalia as well as other associated evidence, the possibility of such injuries having been inflicted by a single person cannot be ruled out," states the MIMB's interim report, prepared by experts from leading Delhi hospitals including AIIMS. The 11-member board was chaired by Dr Adarsh Kumar, a professor of forensic medicine at AIIMS, New Delhi.
