The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has filed a charge sheet against Sanjay Roy, the primary accused in the rape and murder case of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. Roy, a civic volunteer with the local police, allegedly committed the crime on August 9 when the victim went to sleep in the hospital’s seminar room during a break.
Chargesheet doesn’t include gang rape
According to officials, the charge sheet, submitted to a special court in Kolkata, does not include charges of gang rape, suggesting that Roy acted alone. However, the CBI has stated that the investigation remains open.
The 31-year-old trainee doctor’s body was found in the seminar room on the morning of August 9. Roy was arrested by the Kolkata Police on August 10 and remanded to police custody until August 24. The case was handed over to the CBI following an order from the Calcutta High Court on August 13.
Further developments in the case are awaited as the investigation continues.
