Accused Sanjay Roy-Shows No Remorse: cbi Sources

Sanjay Roy, the suspect in the horrific rape and murder of a trainee doctor at a government hospital in kolkata, is reportedly seen as a “sexual pervert” with no remorse, according to sources within the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The case has drawn widespread national attention and outrage.
The cbi, which took over the investigation from the city police following a calcutta High court order on august 13, has subjected Roy to psychometric tests—a type of personality evaluation designed to assess cognitive functions. Roy, a 33-year-old civic volunteer with access to RG Kar Medical college and Hospital, confessed to the crime in detail, displaying no emotional response during these tests, according to sources. Experts involved in the evaluation described him as having “animal-like instincts.”
The post-mortem report of the 31-year-old doctor revealed she died from “manual strangulation associated with smothering,” with evidence of severe physical trauma and “forceful penetration/insertion” in her genitalia. There are suspicions among her family and some experts that more individuals might be involved, though this has not been confirmed by investigators.
Roy was arrested by kolkata police on august 10, a day after the doctor’s body was discovered in a seminar hall on the hospital’s fourth floor. During the initial investigation, explicit content was found on his phone, and reports indicate he visited two brothels on the night of august 8, just hours before the crime. Questions have arisen about how he gained easy access to RG Kar and how he managed to roam the hospital posing as a police official, despite being a civic volunteer—a role created by the ruling trinamool congress (TMC) for assisting with traffic and event management.
Roy has been assigned legal aid to explain the psychometric tests’ physical and psychological aspects, and the cbi will proceed with these tests once Roy consents. Legal aid is provided to those unable to afford private legal representation or in unusual circumstances.
The cbi is concerned about the potential public outrage when Roy appears in court and is seeking permission from the calcutta High court for a virtual hearing regarding the polygraph test. Roy’s consent must be documented before any polygraph examination can take place.
The case has not only shocked the nation but has also led to scrutiny of RG Kar Medical college, the dismissal of its principal, and widespread protests by students and civil society. The supreme court has requested a status report from the cbi by august 22.
