Sanjoy Roy, a former contractual employee of Kolkata Police, is accused by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) of raping and killing a female doctor who was on duty at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. At a special court in Sealdah this afternoon, the central agency will present the chargesheet.
Officials stated that the doctor had taken a break and gone to rest in the hospital’s lecture room when the accused civic volunteer allegedly committed the crime.
The statements of about 200 people have been recorded in the charge sheet that names Roy as the main accused, according to CBI sources. It is still under investigation if there were multiple suspects and if this was a gang rape case, they added.
The doctor was found dead at the hospital on August 9 and subsequent investigations revealed the horror she had gone through. The court had asked the CBI to take over the probe amid nationwide protests.
Roy, who frequented the hospital, was arrested a day later by Kolkata Police. They handed him over to the CBI along with other evidence when they took over.
The then principal of the college, Sandip Ghosh, has also been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the CBI in two different cases of financial irregularities and evidence tampering.
The victim’s colleagues, who have been protesting for two months, are now on a hunger strike demanding justice in the RG Kar case and enhanced security for doctors.
