PTI, KOLKATA, MARCH 28, 2025 : The Calcutta High Court on Friday directed the CBI to submit the case diary initially prepared by Kolkata Police in connection with the rape-murder of an on-duty doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
A single-judge bench of Justice Tirthankar Ghosh also instructed the CBI to present a list of individuals interviewed in the case at the next hearing, scheduled for April 23.
During the hearing, the court inquired whether the crime involved gang rape and if additional suspects had been identified. Deputy Solicitor General Rajdeep Majumdar, representing the CBI, clarified that the case did not fall under Section 70 (Gang Rape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
The court noted inconsistencies between the inquest and postmortem reports, particularly regarding injury marks that were mentioned in one but missing in the other.
The convicted Sanjay Roy has been sentenced to life imprisonment till the end of his natural life by the Sealdah Sessions Court. The CBI is now investigating whether there was a larger conspiracy or an attempt to destroy evidence in the case.
