Kolkata police have arrested a man over the murder and rape of a trainee doctor in the city's R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The man identified as Sanjoy Roy was arrested after the CCTV footage was reviewed. He reportedly has free access to several departments of the hospital. "We have arrested one person, who is an outsider. His activities are quite suspicious and he seems to be directly involved in the crime," a police officer told PTI.
Police have registered a case under rape and murder charges and formed a special team to investigate the incident. They have also questioned two intern doctors in connection with the case.
The victim, 31, was found dead on Friday morning around 7.30 am at the 3rd floor seminar hall of the hospital with multiple injuries. A judicial inquest has found injuries in the private parts while there was bleeding from both her eyes and mouth. Her collar bone was broken and injuries were found in her neck, belly and limbs.
Human hair and blood stains were recovered by forensic experts from the mattress on which she was found dead. Her broken spectacles were also found.
Police suspect that she was strangled first before being smothered to death.
