According to the PTI report, the autopsy report has indicated multiple penetrations and injuries to several parts of the body. The autopsy report also debunks the claims that the woman was raped after being murdered. The report stated that her death was “homicidal” and “antemortem” and hinted towards an alleged gang rape of the junior doctor of the government-run hospital in Kolkata.

"Homicidal injuries are antemortem in nature with the indication of sexual penetration," the report said.

Autopsy report indicates multiple penetrations, says ex-RG Kar student

The autopsy report details indicated multiple injuries on the victim's body before the murder. It also hints at multiple penetrations, according to Dr Subarna Goswami, a former student of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

"The autopsy report is proof of the brutality she had to encounter, the presence of more than one person, and that she was sexually assaulted more than once. This is bestiality at its worst," he told PTI.

The report also confirms that the RG Kar trainee doctor was first sexually assaulted, then throttled by applying pressure to her neck, and then smothered to death.

The body of the postgraduate trainee was found inside a seminar hall of the hospital here on the morning of August 9. A civic volunteer was arrested on Saturday in connection with the crime. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Wednesday launched an investigation in the matter after Calcutta High Court's order.
