The parents of the young doctor who was tragically raped and murdered at Kolkata's R G Kar Medical College and Hospital said they were not disappointed about missing an opportunity to meet Union Minister Amit Shah during his recent visit to West Bengal on 27 October. The couple, who had previously written to the Minister on 22 October seeking an appointment, remain hopeful that they may be able to meet him at a later time.

"We understand that as Union Home Minister, he has substantial responsibilities. It must have been challenging for him to make time for us during his brief, day-long visit," the mother of the deceased doctor shared with PTI on Thursday. Despite not being able to secure an audience with Shah, she expressed empathy for his demanding schedule and continued optimism for a future meeting.
