The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) officials recently met with the family of the postgraduate trainee doctor who was tragically assault and murdered at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital. A personal diary maintained by the 31-year-old doctor has become a focal point in the ongoing investigation. This diary, handed over by the victim’s parents to the authorities, could offer vital insights into her mental state leading up to the incident.
The victim’s family had earlier informed both the investigative team and the media that she was unhappy with certain aspects of her experience at the hospital and had expressed reluctance to continue working there. Investigators are closely examining the diary to determine whether the victim had any interactions, threats, or disputes with the accused, Sanjay Roy.
In addition to the diary, investigators are also scrutinizing a notepad found at the crime scene, hoping it might provide further leads.
Psychological Evaluation of the Accused
The CBI has also decided to subject Sanjay Roy to additional scientific evaluations, including a psychological analysis. A team of experts from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) will arrive in Kolkata to conduct this assessment. According to a CFSL official, the investigation team deemed this analysis necessary to further understand Roy’s psychological state.
The CBI has also collected material evidence from Roy’s residence and barracks within the campus of the Kolkata armed police’s 4th battalion.
Focus on Hospital Management
The CBI’s inquiry has also extended to the management of RG Kar Hospital. Former principal Sandeep Ghosh has been questioned for two consecutive days at the CBI’s CGO Complex office in Salt Lake, Kolkata. The agency is probing why the hospital initially presented the case as a suicide and why there was a delay in notifying the police after the body was discovered. Records show that the first call to the Kolkata police was made 40 minutes after the body was found, at 10:10 a.m.
Additionally, the CBI is seeking explanations regarding ongoing renovation work on the hospital’s fourth floor, which was not halted despite the crime. This line of questioning is significant due to allegations that evidence may have been tampered with or destroyed, particularly in the seminar hall adjacent to the renovation site.
