"Do whatever you want to do with him, please do not bring his body back home. We will not receive it.No one can have a relationship with such an inhuman," she told reporters.
The sister, who refused to be identified due to the nature of her job, said she had severed all ties with him long ago due to his excessive drinking and violent behaviour. "I have no relation with him and never want to have any," she stated in response to questions about the allegations against her brother.
Sanjay Roy, the family said, had a history of troubling behaviour. He was married four times, with the recent one solemnized in Feb, 2022. "We were unaware of his previous marriages and abusive tendencies. Sanjay's violent nature came to light when he kicked my three months pregnant sister in the stomach, leading to the death of their unborn child," said the sister of Sanjay's fourth wife.
Tragically, his wife was later diagnosed with blood cancer and admitted to NRS Hospital for six months, where she eventually died. "Despite this, Sanjay refused to hand us my daughter's death certificate. Police refused to take any action against Sanjay despite our complaint He would come home drunk, beat people up, and threaten to kill us," said mother of Sanjay's wife. She also claimed to havecut ties with him long before the tragic incident unfolded.
Sanjay's mother, Malati, who also bore the brunt of his violent behaviour, remained silent on the matter. "A bell doesn't ring on its own," Malati said. She insisted that Sanjay never cared about the family, nor did he ever take care of her. "My daughters look after me," she said. Asked about her son's crime, she said, "A mother always tries to raise all children in the best way she can. Now, I am hearing about his misdeeds. It is difficult to believe."
Neighbours claim Sanjay was a local tough. "He always claimed he was from the Kolkata Police's armed battalion. He had also learnt boxing when he was young. He had taken money from some people promising them police jobs. We do not know how such a person with this background was allowed to stay with the police force," a local, refusing to be named, said.
