In a shocking incident, Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer of the Kolkata Police, has been arrested in connection with the rape and murder of Doctor, a postgraduate doctor from R.G. Kar Medical College. The accused was identified through CCTV footage and a torn earphone found at the crime scene. The postmortem report confirmed sexual assault and multiple injuries on the victim. The heinous crime occurred in the early morning, and the victim’s body was discovered around 7:30 AM.
Who is Sanjay Roy?
Sanjay Roy joined the Kolkata Police’s Disaster Management Group as a civic volunteer in 2019. Using “proper connections,” he managed to get transferred to the Welfare Cell of Kolkata Police. Reportedly, he also used his contacts to secure accommodation within the 4th Battalion campus of the Kolkata Police, which eventually facilitated his posting at R.G. Kar Medical College. Roy had been stationed at the police outpost within the college multiple times, giving him easy access to all the departments in the hospital.
How was Sanjay Roy Identified?
A torn earphone found in the seminar room where the doctor’s body was discovered played a crucial role in identifying Sanjay Roy. CCTV footage captured Roy entering the emergency building at 4 AM with a Bluetooth device hanging around his neck. When he exited the building 40 minutes later, the earphone was missing. It was later found paired with his mobile phone, leading to his identification and arrest.
