August 25th 2024.
On Sunday, various rallies and demonstrations took place in different parts of West Bengal to protest the heinous rape and murder of a doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. It was a day where the community came together to demand justice for the victim, whose tragic fate has deeply shaken the entire nation. In the state capital of Kolkata, members of civil society marched from Ramlila Maidan in Moulali to Metro Channel in Esplanade, raising their voices and demanding for swift action to be taken against the perpetrators. Slogans like "From Hatras to RG Kar, rise up against sexual violence" filled the air, reflecting the collective anger and frustration of the people.
Meanwhile, the main accused in this horrific crime, Sanjay Roy, is currently undergoing a lie detection test at Kolkata's Presidency Jail, where he is being held. This test aims to uncover the truth and gather more evidence in the ongoing investigation. Additionally, two more individuals will also be undergoing the test at the CBI office in Kolkata later in the day. Yesterday, four people, including the former principal of the medical college, Sandip Ghosh, underwent the polygraph test as well.
The CBI has requested permission from the court to conduct the lie detector test on seven individuals, including Roy and Ghosh. Although the results of the test cannot be used as evidence in court, it can provide valuable leads and direction for further investigation. A team of polygraph experts from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory in Delhi have been brought in to conduct the tests.
Roy, who was arrested by the Kolkata Police on August 10th, was allegedly seen entering the seminar hall of the medical college where the victim's body was found. The arrest was made based on a CCTV footage and a Bluetooth device found near the victim's body. Roy had been working as a civic volunteer with the Kolkata Police since 2019 and had developed close relationships with some senior officers. Due to this, he was transferred to the Kolkata Police Welfare Board and was stationed at the police outpost at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Roy has vehemently denied all allegations against him. The CBI had previously informed the Supreme Court that the crime scene had been tampered with before they took over the investigation, indicating that there may have been an attempt by the local police to cover up the rape and murder. The truth behind this tragic incident must be uncovered and justice must be served for the victim.
