Sources added that the preliminary postmortem report also suggests that the victim house staff, also a second-year post-graduation student with R.G Kar Medical College & Hospital, had to go through a sort of trauma for quite some time and she was probably strangulated to ensure her death.
As per the preliminary postmortem report, there were injury marks on the private parts of the victim’s body, besides a broken collarbone.
