KOLKATA, Feb 8: Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh chief Mohan Bhagwat on Saturday met the parents of the medic of R G Kar Medical College and Hospital, who was raped and murdered in August last year, a senior RSS functionary said.
Following a request by the parents, Bhagawat who is on a visit to West Bengal talked to them for some time at a guest house.
The functionary said that Bhagawat expressed shock after hearing about the brutalities on her and expressed solidarity with the parents.
As the mother told him about their wish to continue fight for justice to the deceased, Bhagawat promised support for the affected family “which is the need of the hour at present,” he said.
A Kolkata court sentenced Sanjay Roy, the sole convict in the case, to life imprisonment till death.
The mother of the deceased woman had requested an audience with Bhagawat after coming to know about his visit.
Bhagawat in a public function in the city had said it was the duty of the state government to ensure the strictest punishment to all those involved in the crime. (PTI)
