Sanjay Roy, Accused In Kolkata Rape-Murder Case, To Undergo Lie Detector Test

Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) will conduct the polygraph test – lie detector test – of the accused Sanjay Roy in the Kolkata Rape and Murder case. The court has directed the central probing agency to conduct the lie detector test as soon as possible.

After psychological test of Sanjay Roy, now a lie detector (polygraph test) of the accused will also be conducted.

Earlier, a team of psychological and behavioural analysts from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) in Delhi conducted a psychological test of Kolkata rape and murder accused.

The federal agency has also questioned Dr Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, where the incident took place, in connection with the alleged rape and killing of the trainee doctor.

The agency had taken Ghosh for questioning on Friday and it continued till 1:40 am on Saturday.

The body of the 31-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor, who was allegedly raped and killed inside a seminar hall of the state-run hospital, was found on August 9. Roy, a civic volunteer, was arrested in this connection.

The victim's parents had moved the Calcutta High Court, seeking a court-monitored investigation in the case. Several other public interest litigation (PIL) pleas were also filed, demanding a CBI probe into the incident.

A preliminary autopsy report suggested that the victim was sexually abused and killed. It said she was bleeding from her eyes, mouth and private parts. There were also injuries on her left leg, neck, right hand, ring finger and lips.

The Kolkata Police arrested Roy (33), who joined the force as a civic volunteer in 2019. Police have alleged that the accused was married at least four times and was a known "womaniser".

The accused, who is a trained boxer, got close to a few senior police officers over the years, following which he was moved to the Kolkata Police Welfare Board and posted at the police outpost at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
