Kolkata Rape Accused Reportedly Visited Two Red Light Areas, Drank Alcohol Before Crime

Kolkata: Sanjoy Roy, the prime accused in the horrific Kolkata rape and murder of a medic, was accompanied by a companion of his with whom he reportedly visited two red-light areas- one in North Kolkata and the other in Chetla at South Kolkata - after midnight the day the gruesome incident took place.

Roy, who was highly intoxicated, remained outside while his companion went to the residence of a sex worker. 

Roy reportedly even harassed two women including an intoxicated woman and one of them for her nude photographs. 

Roy was spotted roaming near RG Kar Hospital at around 3:50 am the night the medic was raped and murdered.

Roy barged into the hospital's operation theatre, reached the emergency wing around 4:03 am and headed to the seminar hall on the third floor.

Roy reportedly confessed to the cops that he jumped on the victim and raped her.

CBI Grills Police Officer

For the second day in a row, the CBI questioned Anup Dutta, an Assistant Sub-Inspector of Police and member of the city police welfare board.

Dutta’s proximity to Roy, the arrested civic volunteer, is believed to have led the agency sleuths to understand how Roy could have had free access to police barracks where he stayed, and within an institution like RG Kar Hospital where he could move around freely at all times of the day.

CBI sleuths have reportedly accessed multiple photographs showing Dutta and Roy together prompting them to dig out further details on the arrested man from the officer.

Dutta, however, was seen sprinting towards the CBI office to avoid media persons when they asked him how long he had known the accused.
