Emotional & Intense: Kolkata Rape-Murder Case: Polygraph Test Grips Main Accused and 6 Others in Gripping Investigation
Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel are stationed at the entrance of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, India, as of August 23, 2024. This presence is connected to the ongoing investigation into the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at the state-run facility. Officials have begun lie detection tests on the principal accused, Sanjay Roy, and six others, including former principal Sandip Ghosh, four on-duty doctors, and a civil volunteer. The polygraph test for Roy will take place in his prison cell, while the others will be tested at the agency’s office.
A specialized team from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) in Delhi is conducting these tests after flying into Kolkata. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) revealed to the Supreme Court on August 22, 2024, that local police attempted to tamper with the crime scene, obstructing the investigation into the post-graduate medic’s death. This incident has led to widespread protests.
The junior doctor’s body, bearing severe injuries, was discovered in the seminar hall of the hospital’s chest department on the morning of August 9. Roy was apprehended the following day. In response to concerns over the integrity of the local police’s investigation, the Calcutta High Court ordered the case to be transferred to the CBI on August 13, with the federal agency commencing its probe on August 14.
The case continues to spark significant outrage and calls for justice, with many closely watching the developments as the investigation proceeds.
