The CBI on Monday filed its first chargesheet in the rape and murder of a junior doctor at RG Kar medical college hospital in Kolkata. The chargesheet claimed that Sanjay Roy, the prime accused who has been arrested in the case, committed the crime on August 9 when the victim had gone to sleep in the hospital’s seminar room.
The chargesheet doesn’t have any mention of gang-rape, indicating that Roy alone committed the crime.
Roy, a civic volunteer with Kolkata Police, was arrested on August 10 on the basis of CCTV footage. He is currently in judicial custody and the CBI has already conducted a polygraph test on him. The agency, however, could not conduct a narco-analysis on Roy as he did not give consent for it.

The chargesheet filed before a special court in Kolkata has provided details of tampering with evidence in the case during the initial phase of the investigation that was conducted by Kolkata Police, reports said.
The CBI took over the probe on August 14 following a directive by the Calcutta High Court.
Besides Roy, the CBI has also arrested former RG Kar medical college principal Sandp Ghosh and former SHO of Tala Police Station Abhijit Mondal for allegedly trying to tamper with evidence. Ghosh is also facing CBI investigation in a separate corruption case.
Quoting sources, the IANS reported that the investigating sleuths have got specific clues that the manner in which evidence in the case was tampered with, is no less heinous than the actual crime of rape and murder.
