The body of the victim was recovered from a seminar hall within the premises of the state-run institution early on 9 August last year.

The victim's parents have alleged that they have been unable to get the death certificate till now as the R.G. Kar and Kolkata Municipal Corporation (KMC) authorities are shifting the responsibility onto each other.

According to them, the KMC authorities are claiming that since the "place of death" is R.G. Kar, it is the responsibility of the hospital authorities to provide the death certificate.
