The Central Investigation Bureau (CBI)’s plea for a narco-analysis test on Sanjay Roy, the main accused in the RG Kar Medical Hospital rape and murder case, was rejected by the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM) in court after Roy declined to give his consent. Roy had previously undergone a polygraph test.
The central agency has identified discrepancies in Roy’s statements during recent interrogations, which led to his appearance before the ACJM in the court in Sealdah on Friday.
Prior to the test, he was made aware of the narco-analysis procedure, which involves the administration of an intravenous drug and several stages of anesthesia.
Roy was also briefed about the substances used, namely sodium pentothal, scopolamine, and sodium amytal, all of which are known as truth serums.
Due to inconsistencies in his statements, the probe agency has requested a narco-analysis test. This test, which places individuals into a hypnotic state, is intended to make them less inhibited and more likely to disclose hidden information.
Following Roy’s exit from the magistrate’s chamber, the judge presented and opened a sealed envelope in front of the attorneys.
Kabita Sarkar, who is representing him, argued against the procedure, questioning the safety despite the claims of no life risks.
”Chances of going back to normal life are slim after the test is done,” she stated. The magistrate noted Roy’s refusal to consent to the procedure, labelling it unconstitutional and a breach of privacy.
