“Sanjoy Roy Raped, Murdered Kolkata Doctor”: CBI Chargesheet In RG Kar Case

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has charged Sanjoy Roy, who used to work with Kolkata Police as a contractual staff, with the rape and murder of an on-duty woman doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The central agency, which completed the probe within two months, will submit the charge sheet at the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court at Sealdah this afternoon.

The statements of about 200 people have been recorded in the charge sheet that names Roy as the main accused, according to CBI sources.

The sources said it is still under investigation if there were multiple suspects and if this was a gang rape case.

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 victim’s colleagues, who have been protesting since two months, are now on a hunger strike demanding justice in the RG Kar case and enhanced security for doctors.
