The country has been outraged by the horrible rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. In an effort to find the truth, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is now in charge of the investigation and is concentrating on several fronts. New information about what happened on August 9th, the role played by Sanjay Roy, the primary accused, and the involvement of medical workers has emerged in recent times.
Key Figures Under Investigation
There is now a lot of attention surrounding four medical experts from RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. These consist of an intern, a house surgeon, and two postgraduate trainees in their first year. They will now undergo lie-detector tests after the CBI discovered inconsistencies in their claims. Although the agency now believes these people were not directly involved in the crime, there is a suspicion that they were either a part of a bigger plot or may have tampered with the evidence.
Timeline of Events
The victim, a trainee doctor, was last saw about midnight eating supper with two first-year postgraduate trainees, according to the chronology provided by the Kolkata Police. Around two in the morning, they moved from the lecture room to a sleep room to watch an Olympic event. The victim stayed in the lecture room, which was next to the sleeping quarters for the interns.
One of the postgraduate trainees discovered the victim’s corpse the next day at about nine thirty in the morning. This individual had previously had supper with the victim, and after reporting the occurrence to the police, the crime was eventually found.
CBI’s Findings and Analysis
Significant evidence has been found by the CBI during its investigation. Notably, the corpse was located in the lecture room where the fingerprints of two of the physicians were recovered. CCTV footage recorded the house surgeon walking from the first floor to the third floor at 2:45 a.m. that night. On the third level, there was also the intern who had spoken with the victim.
The damaged door bolt in the lecture hall is the subject of investigation since it could have kept the victim from locking the room. This glitch, which raises the possibility that the door may not be secured and so permit the crime to continue unhindered, is a critical component of the inquiry.
The Role of CCTV Footage
Important evidence is provided by hospital CCTV footage. It depicts Sanjay Roy, the principal accused, arriving at the hospital on August 9 around 1:30 a.m., some hours before the incident. A Bluetooth gadget that was subsequently found at the crime site is shown around Roy’s neck. This tool was crucial in connecting Roy to the crime. The ownership of the gadget was verified by detectives by linking it with Roy’s cell phone.
Sanjay Roy’s Background and Arrest
In 2019, Sanjay Roy, a 33-year-old volunteer with experience in boxing, became a member of the Kolkata Police. Roy, who was well-known for his string of marriages and contentious relationships, was finally sent to the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital because to his contacts to senior police officers. Roy was taken into custody when the victim’s body was found and evidence was found that connected him to the murder. He admitted to the crime while being questioned.

Investigation and Legal Proceedings
Permission has been granted to the CBI to administer lie-detector tests to the four physicians and Dr. Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College. Ghosh has come under fire for the way he handled the matter and for delaying the filing of the FIR. The West Bengal police and Ghosh have come under fire from the Supreme Court for misclassifying the murder as a suicide at first and for reporting it after a 14-hour delay.
Ongoing Investigations and Public Reaction
The question of whether someone was stationed outside the seminar hall to guarantee the crime could continue unhindered is also being looked into by the CBI. The inquiry is looking into why there were no reports of sounds coming from the hallway during the attack.
Demands for justice have been made across India due to the crime’s brutality and the subsequent investigation. The CBI is still investigating the case and trying to piece together the whole tale of what happened that terrible night.
The rape and murder of the doctor in Kolkata are being investigated, and fresh information is constantly coming to light. To fully understand the circumstances behind this unfortunate event, the CBI must conduct a thorough investigation into every possible angle, including the involvement of medical staff and the activities of the primary suspects. It is unclear how these disclosures will affect the victim’s quest for justice as the investigation moves forward.
