Kolkata Doctor Rape and Murder Case: Latest Developments and Shocking Revelations

Kolkata, August 2024 — The brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata has gripped the nation, igniting a fierce demand for justice. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has been probing deeper into this horrifying crime, revealing disturbing details that implicate not only the accused but also key figures in the hospital administration and potentially the state government.

The Crime

On the night of August 9th, Sanjay Roy, a 33-year-old civic volunteer, allegedly entered RGK Hospital with malicious intent. Captured on CCTV footage, Roy was seen entering the hospital’s third-floor seminar hall around 4 am. Wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and a Kolkata police helmet, with Bluetooth headphones around his neck, he walked through the hospital, fully aware of the surveillance cameras.

The CCTV footage, now accessed by India Today, shows Roy surveying the corridor before entering the seminar hall, where the victim was resting. He spent 29 minutes inside, during which time he brutally assaulted and murdered the trainee doctor. After committing the crime, Roy left the hospital, again captured on camera, without anyone stopping him.

Polygraph Tests of the Accused

The CBI has begun polygraph tests for the main accused, Sanjay Roy, along with six others associated with the case. Roy’s polygraph test is being conducted in the prison where he is held, while the former principal of RG Kar Medical College, Sandip Ghosh, four on-duty doctors, and a civic volunteer are being tested at the CBI’s office. A team of polygraph experts from Delhi’s Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) has flown in to conduct these crucial tests, which are vital in uncovering the full truth behind this heinous crime.

Shocking Revelations Expose a Larger Conspiracy

The investigation has brought to light a series of shocking details, raising serious concerns about the involvement of higher authorities, including the Kolkata Police and the state government led by Mamata Banerjee. According to sources, the CBI has gathered substantial evidence about the sequence of events on the night of the crime. These revelations have not only identified Sanjay Roy as the primary perpetrator but have also suggested a possible cover-up involving key figures in the hospital and the administration.

  1. The Role of Kolkata Police and Mamata Banerjee’s Government: From the beginning, the Kolkata Police’s handling of this case has been under intense scrutiny. Allegations have emerged that attempts were made to destroy evidence, manipulate the investigation, and present the crime as a suicide. Reports indicate that Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee may have intervened personally, fueling suspicions of a deliberate attempt to cover up the crime.
  2. Sanjay Roy’s Confession and Evidence: Sanjay Roy has reportedly confessed to the crime, both to the Kolkata Police and later to the CBI. His confession is supported by CCTV footage showing him entering and exiting the seminar hall where the crime occurred. Critical evidence, including a Bluetooth device found at the scene, has been linked to Roy, further solidifying the case against him.
  3. DNA Evidence: The Central Forensic Science Laboratory’s report confirmed that the DNA found on the victim matches that of Sanjay Roy. No other DNA profiles were detected, debunking earlier rumors of a gang rape. This finding has narrowed the investigation to Roy as the sole assailant.
  4. Attempts to Hush Up the Case: Investigations have revealed efforts to delay the filing of the First Information Report (FIR) and possibly tamper with the crime scene. The CBI is now focusing on the actions of the hospital administration, particularly former principal Sandip Ghosh, who is also facing corruption charges. Questions have been raised about why the crime was initially portrayed as a suicide and whether crucial evidence was tampered with or destroyed.
  5. Involvement of Hospital Administration: The former principal, Sandip Ghosh, and other hospital officials are under investigation not only for their role in the crime cover-up but also for their involvement in a larger corruption scandal. The CBI is examining how these officials may have tried to protect their interests at the expense of justice for the victim.
  6. Supreme Court’s Scrutiny: The case has reached the Supreme Court, where discrepancies in the investigation timeline submitted by the Kolkata Police and the CBI have drawn sharp criticism. The court has demanded answers regarding the delay in filing the FIR, the handling of the crime scene, and the overall conduct of the police and hospital authorities.

Nationwide Outrage

The brutal nature of the crime and the subsequent revelations have led to a nationwide outcry. Citizens across India are demanding justice for the victim, identified as Abhaya. Protests have erupted in several cities, with people taking to the streets to express their anger and frustration. The lack of a safe working environment for women, even in professional settings like hospitals, has become a focal point of these protests.

Opposition parties have seized the issue to corner Mamata Banerjee’s government, which is now facing one of its most significant political crises. Public trust in the Kolkata Police and the state administration has been severely eroded, with many questioning whether the authorities are more interested in self-preservation than in delivering justice.

Social media has amplified the demands for justice, with hashtags like #JusticeForAbhaya and #WomenSafety trending. Many are calling for systemic changes to prevent such incidents in the future.

Calls for Justice

The victim’s family, particularly her grieving mother, has been vocal in demanding the death penalty for Sanjay Roy. In an emotional statement, she described the devastation Roy had brought upon their family and called for swift and decisive justice.

The CBI, now leading the investigation, is under immense pressure to deliver justice. The public’s focus is on ensuring that the legal system does not fail Abhaya and that those responsible for the crime, as well as any potential cover-up, are held accountable.

A Call for Change

This tragic incident underscores the urgent need for reforms to ensure the safety of women in India. Despite numerous laws and policies aimed at protecting women, incidents like this continue to occur with alarming frequency. Abhaya’s case is a painful reminder that more needs to be done to create safe spaces for women, both in their personal and professional lives.As the investigation continues, the nation watches closely, united in its demand for justice and a safer future for all women.
