The case surrounding the rape and murder of a young doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata continues to be a focal point, with delays in bail hearings, political accusations, and calls for action. The accused, Sanjoy Roy, was remanded to judicial custody, while the Supreme Court is set to review the case. Meanwhile, political figures have criticized the West Bengal government, urging for stronger action on women’s safety.
Sanjoy Roy, the civic volunteer arrested in connection with the rape and murder of a PG trainee doctor in Kolkata, is likely to plead ‘not guilty’ in court, according to his lawyer. Roy has consistently maintained his innocence during a polygraph test conducted by the CBI and claims he was framed. However, evidence against him includes his bluetooth earphones found at the crime scene, his blood and skin under the victim’s nails, injury marks on his body, and a psychological test that declared him a ‘sexual pervert’.
Sanjoy Roy, the prime accused in the alleged rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, underwent a lie detector test on Sunday. The test, conducted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), comes after Roy previously claimed innocence and stated that the test would prove his innocence. Two more individuals will also undergo the test at the CBI office in Kolkata, while four others, including the hospital’s former principal, underwent the test on Saturday. Roy’s arrest followed the discovery of the doctor’s body in a seminar hall, with CCTV footage and a Bluetooth headphone linking him to the crime.
The mother-in-law of Sanjoy Roy, the arrested civic volunteer accused of raping and murdering a postgraduate trainee doctor at RG Kar hospital, has expressed doubts about her son-in-law’s capacity to commit the crime alone. She alleges a strained relationship with Roy, citing a past incident where he allegedly caused her daughter’s miscarriage. The Supreme Court will hear a suo motu case on the incident on Tuesday, while Roy is scheduled to undergo a polygraph test.
