Global News's video: India protests: Families of suspect victim speak out after murder and rape of trainee doctor

Family members of both the suspect and victim in a murder-rape case in India’s West Bengal region spoke out after a 24-hour health-care worker strike on Saturday. Nationwide protests emerged after a 31-year-old female doctor was murdered and raped at a medical college in Kolkata last week. According to her father, she went missing for at least seven hours without query from other staff members. “We are getting a lot of support, but I need justice for my daughter,” the victim’s father told reporters. “I hope the culprit… gets the harshest punishment.” The suspect’s mother, too, spoke out. Despite saying she would support him, she suggested to reporters that she wished she would have been killed earlier in her life. When asked why, she responded, “I should not have given birth to my son… it is a huge mistake.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on X HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB
