Kolkata doctor rape-murder case: Prime accused Sanjoy Roy sent to 14-day judicial custody
Roy was arrested by the Kolkata Police a day after the incident was reported on August 9. The case was then transferred to the CBI for further investigation
Sanjoy Roy, the prime accused in the rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, has been sent to 14-day judicial custody. The Sealdah Civil and Criminal Court ordered his custody under heavy security arrangements.
In a related development, a special court in Kolkata granted permission to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct a polygraph test on Roy. Although such tests are not accepted as evidence in court, they are often used to assist investigators in their inquiries, according to a report by India Today.
Roy was arrested by the Kolkata Police a day after the incident was reported on August 9. The case was then transferred to the CBI for further investigation.
On Thursday, the CBI carried out a psychoanalytic profiling of Roy. The profiling revealed disturbing details about his personality, with a CBI officer describing him as a “pervert and severely addicted to pornography.”
The officer further explained that Roy exhibited an "animal-like instinct" and showed no remorse during interrogation for the brutal crime committed within the state-run medical college.
The CBI officer also mentioned that Roy narrated every detail of the crime without any sign of guilt or hesitation, a fact that has contributed to the growing outrage across the country.
