The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has meticulously detailed the sequence of events leading up to the tragic rape-murder case at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, culminating in the arrest of Sanjay Roy as the primary suspect. The chargesheet, filed against Roy, provides a comprehensive timeline of his movements and the victim's actions in the hours preceding the crime. This meticulous reconstruction relies heavily on CCTV footage from the hospital and surrounding areas, along with an in-depth analysis of call data records (CDRs).
The CBI's investigation reveals that at 3:42 AM on August 9th, Roy entered the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital through the main gate. He parked his motorbike near the entrance and proceeded to the emergency ward ramp, entering the building at 3:48 AM. At 4:03 AM, CCTV cameras captured him on the third-floor corridor near the crime scene. He was then seen exiting the chest ward on the same floor at 4:32 AM, finally leaving the hospital premises on his motorbike at 4:37 AM. This meticulous account paints a chilling picture of Roy's presence and movements at the scene of the crime.
The chargesheet also sheds light on the victim's activities before the fatal incident. According to sources, the trainee doctor was with four colleagues in the seminar hall during the night of August 8th and 9th. They had ordered food through a delivery service. One of the victim's colleagues last saw her alive around 3 AM. The postmortem report determined her time of death to be after 4 AM, aligning with the timeframe when Roy was present in the hospital. The chargesheet highlights a number of recent injuries on Roy's body, including abrasions on his left cheek, left hand, and thigh, suggesting a struggle or physical altercation took place. The Kolkata Police recovered items from Roy, including his clothes and helmet, which are likely to be crucial pieces of evidence in the investigation.
Beyond Roy, the CBI's probe extends to other individuals suspected of involvement. The arrest of Abhijit Mondal, the officer in charge of Tala Police Station, and Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar, underscores the agency's belief in a possible conspiracy. The CBI's remand note indicates its intent to verify phone calls between the accused to explore the possibility of a coordinated effort among them. The chargesheet, filed before a special court in Kolkata, states that Roy, acting as a civic volunteer, committed the crime on August 9th when the victim was asleep during a break. However, the chargesheet does not include a charge of gang rape, suggesting that Roy acted alone. This conclusion, arrived at after a thorough interrogation of the main accused and a polygraph test, is significant, though Roy refused to consent to a narco analysis. The CBI's meticulous investigation and the evidence presented in the chargesheet are crucial steps in seeking justice for the victim and ensuring a fair trial.
