A female doctor was murdered in Bengal and a civic volunteer, who was treated like a regular police officer, is the main suspect.
In Kolkata, there has been a recent arrest in connection with the rape and murder of a woman doctor at the RG Kar Medical College & Hospital. The accused, Sanjay Ray, was a civic volunteer who seemed to have been granted privileges and freedom of movement similar to regular police officers. This has raised concerns about how this was possible and why it went unnoticed by senior officials or residents of the police barracks where Ray resided.

Upon further investigation, it was found that Ray was living in a police barrack at Ultadanga in North Kolkata, which is typically reserved for permanent police officers. This raises the question of how he was able to live there and why no one reported this irregularity to higher authorities. In addition, Ray's mobile phone revealed personal numbers of lower-ranking police officers and staff, suggesting that he may have had close connections with them.

The investigating officials are now looking into the possibility that Ray was in regular contact with these individuals. They have even prepared a list of regular staff in the city police who may have been close to him and will be questioned if necessary. It has also been discovered that despite being a civic volunteer, Ray often identified himself as an assistant sub-inspector of police attached to the armed police division of the state police.

City police insiders have also shared that there have been prior complaints about Ray being intoxicated while on duty and behaving inappropriately towards his fellow civic volunteers. This could possibly be linked to the fact that on the night of the attack, Ray was heavily intoxicated.

The victim, a house staff and postgraduate student at the medical college, was attacked in the seminar hall on Friday night. The accused, despite being a civic volunteer, seemed to have a sense of authority and was even known to identify himself as a police officer. The investigation is still ongoing and more details are expected to be revealed.
