New Delhi, Jan. 1 -- A film based on the alleged rape and murder of a young doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College in August 2024 has received formal consent from the victim's parents, nearly two months after they had publicly opposed the project. The consent letter, signed by the parents in mid-December and accessed by HT, gives "full and unconditional consent" for the making of the film titled 'Tillotoma'. The document, however, is dated August 15, 2025, a date the filmmaker says reflects when a copy of the consent draft was first shared with the family. The parents also confirm in writing that they have "no objections for making of this film" and authorise the producers to proceed with its execution and presentation. When HT spoke to the victim's father, he said the family agreed to give consent as the film was likely to be made regardless, with or without using his daughter's name. "I just want justice for my daughter," he said over the phone. He added that he has repeatedly tried to reach out to several cabinet ministers and the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) seeking a speedy trial, but claimed that he has not been granted a meeting. Following public outrage and allegations of lapses in the initial probe by the Kolkata Police, the investigation was transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), where it remains pending. The victim's father alleged that the West Bengal government and the state police had engaged in witness tampering and mishandled the investigation. Director of Tillotoma, Ujjwal Chatterjee, told HT that the delay in receiving consent has pushed the project back by around two months. "We were waiting for clarity from the family. Now that consent is in place, we can move ahead properly," he said. Chatterjee added veteran actors Jaya Prada and Mithun Chakraborty have been signed to play the lead roles, with Payal Chatterjee set to portray the victim. He also said the filmmakers will use the real names of those involved in the case. However, legal experts point out that consent alone does not automatically permit public disclosure of a sexual offence victim's identity. Advocate Eesha Bakshi, who practises in the Supreme Court of India, said Section 72 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, shaped by Supreme Court directions and drawn from Section 228A of the Indian Penal Code makes anonymity of sexual offence victims the rule....
