After days of uproar and outrage on the rape-murder of a trainee doctor in RG Kar Medical College of Kolkata, the Kolkata police have arrested the accused. The accused turned out to be a civic volunteer who entered hospitals on contracts for work.
The accused also confessed to committing the crime and made audacious statements to police, "Yes, I have committed the crime, hang me to death, police told media.
The accused identified as Sanjay Roy a civic volunteer in the police welfare board and posted at the police outpost in RG Kar Medical College. He had joined the Kolkata Police as a civic volunteer in 2019. He used to also wear t-shirts with tag of Kolkata police written on it. He had four marriages in past and a history of violence towards women.
Sanjoy Roy also confessed to previous violent behaviour towards women, including his mother, sister, and wife. He has a previous complaint against him for physical abuse of his wife registered in one of the police stations in Kolkata.
The police have seized his mobile phone and are set to retrieve data from it. His phone was reportedly found with pron clips. Sanjoy Roy was allegedly addicted to pornography and his mobile phone had several such contents. The police have also collected DNA samples from the accused have been collected and sent to a forensic lab for profiling.
The police told media that the pornography content in his mobile phone was quite disturbing and violent. We wonder about the state of his mind as watching such things is quite unnatural.
Sanjoy Roy's neighbours told police that his first wife was from Behala, while the second wife was from Park Circus. “He got married for the third time to a girl from Barrackpore. But that also did not last long. Then he married a girl from the city's Alipore area.
The semi-nude body of the post-graduate trainee doctor was found inside the seminar hall of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital last week. She was brutally murdered, and her body bore multiple injury marks. The preliminary autopsy report indicated sexual abuse before her murder.
The police probe showed that after severely hurting and sexually assaulting the doctor, the accused, Sanjoy Roy, killed her by throttling and smothering her. The murder took between 3am and 5am.
It also came to the fore that Sanjoy Roy, who is a trained boxer, got close to a few senior police officers over the years, following which he was moved to the Kolkata Police Welfare Board and posted to the police outpost at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital where the incident happened.
West Bengal Chief Minister Mamta Banerjee had given a strict warning to Kolkata police stating that the investigation would be transferred to the CBI if the police are unable to crack down the matter.
