kolkata murder case main accused will have polygraphy test cbi gets permission from court

The Central Bureau of Investigation will conduct a polygraph test on Sanjay Roy, accused in the rape and murder case of a doctor in Kolkata, which has triggered protests across the country. This comes a day after the central agency conducted psychological tests on Roy. According to sources, permission has been granted by the court and the CBI will conduct a polygraph test as soon as possible to expedite the case. They said there are contradictions in the statements of prime accused Sanjay Roy and the CBI suspects that he is hiding some truth, which is why he will now be subjected to a polygraph test.

Roy, a civic volunteer, was arrested on August 9, a day after the doctor’s body was found in the seminar hall of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Police sources said preliminary investigation into the case revealed that the accused, Sanjay Roy, had consumed alcohol before committing the crime. On the day the crime took place, around 11 pm, Sanjay went to a place behind the hospital to consume alcohol, sources said, adding that he used to watch porn there while drinking.

Police sources also said that Roy entered the hospital premises several times that night. However, the police had earlier said that the accused had no reason to be in the department that night. Investigators have described him as having a “disturbed mind”, stating that the type of pornographic material he consumed was not the kind that “people usually watch”. Further investigation revealed that after committing the crime, Roy attempted to destroy evidence. Police have found indications that he tried to wash away blood stains from the scene. CCTV footage also shows Roy leaving the seminar room at around 4:45 am.
