The DNA samples from the victim and accused Sanjay Roy in the Kolkata rape case have been collected and sent to the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) for an independent and unbiased analysis. Preliminary findings indicate a match with the prime accused, but final reports are still pending, sources told Times Now. Forensic experts are reviewing the postmortem report of the victim, and the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has recorded statements from the doctors who conducted the autopsy. The CBI is also seeking an opinion from AIIMS hospital on the DNA and forensic evidence.
Protests In Kolkata
Tensions surged in Kolkata Tuesday as protesters clashed with police during the ‘Nabanna Abhijan’ march organised by Paschimbanga Chhatra Samaj over the rape case. The rally, which called for Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s resignation over the case, turned chaotic with stone-throwing and police lathi charges. Four individuals were arrested for allegedly planning large-scale violence, and the protest was deemed “illegal and unauthorised” by the state government.
Sanjay Roy Admits To Strangling Victim
Accused Sanjay Roy, who has been under investigation for the rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College, reportedly admitted to strangling the victim after sexually assaulting her. Polygraph tests revealed that Roy killed the victim to silence her cries for help. The CBI’s investigation continues, with a second round of polygraph tests conducted on former RG Kar principal Sandip Ghosh and searches at locations linked to him and his relatives.
The Supreme Court has directed that RG Kar Medical College's security be managed by the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) as part of the ongoing suo motu case.
The tragic incident occurred during the night of August 8-9, when the trainee doctor was raped and murdered in the hospital's seminar hall.
