A newly surfaced CCTV video from RG Kar Medical College has provided critical evidence in the ongoing investigation into the rape and murder of a trainee doctor. The footage, which has gained significant attention online, shows Sanjay Roy, the prime suspect in the case, leaving the seminar hall where the crime occurred.

The newly released CCTV footage is pivotal for several reasons:

1. Confirmation of Presence: It verifies Roy’s presence at the hospital on the day of the crime, reinforcing other evidence of his involvement.
2. Ownership of Evidence: It shows Sanjay Roy with the Bluetooth device that was found at the crime scene, linking him more directly to the incident.
