Sanjay Roy, the main accused in the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Hospital, confessed to the crime during a polygraph test. Roy, a civic volunteer with the Kolkata Police, was subjected to the lie detector test on Sunday. Sanjay Roy was subjected to the polygraph test days after he claimed innocence in the rape and murder case.
He reportedly said during a lie-detection test on Sunday that the victim was already dead when he spotted her.
During the test, Roy detailed his movements on the night of the crime, admitting to visiting two red light areas in the city but not having sex. He also confessed to molesting a woman in the street, an act that was captured on surveillance cameras. Additionally, Roy revealed that he had a video call with his girlfriend and asked her for nude photos.
Sources also said that a significant amount of pornographic content was found on Sanjay Roy’s mobile phone, including incest videos depicting sexual acts between siblings. This prompted the CBI to conduct a psychological evaluation of Roy.
Roy, 33, was arrested by the Kolkata Police on August 10, a day after the body of the 31-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor was found in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College. A Bluetooth device found near the medic’s body led to Roy’s arrest. CCTV footage also showed him on the third floor of the hospital where the seminar hall is situated.
The accused allegedly was close to a few senior Kolkata Police officers. The CBI earlier told the Supreme Court that the crime scene was altered by the time it took over the probe, which suggests there was an attempt by the local police to cover up the doctor’s rape and killing.
The Calcutta High Court on August 13 ordered the transfer of the probe from the Kolkata Police to the CBI.
An autopsy revealed sexual assault and 25 injuries to her body, including private parts.
The woman had gone to the room to rest amid her graveyard shift. The police saw Sanjay Roy entering the premises in the CCTV cameras at 4.03 am on August 9. They also found his Bluetooth headset at the crime scene.
The psychoanalytic profiling of Sanjay Roy revealed he was a “pervert and severely addicted to pornography”. He was also found to possess animal-like instincts.
