Sanjay Roy, the civic volunteer, was produced in the court of Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate (ACJM), Sealdah, under tight security with a deputy commissioner ranked official present outside the court. Personnel of the Rapid Action Force (RAF) were also deployed to avoid any untoward incident.

According to sources, the hearing was held in the judge’s chamber instead of the courtroom and no one was allowed inside.

Sanjay Roy was arrested by the Kolkata police on August 10, a day after the 31-year-old doctor was found raped and murdered at R G Kar Hospital, after his prolonged examination and confession of guilt. The police found some injuries on his left cheek, an abrasion in his left hand between his left and ring finger, and an abrasion over the back of his left thigh among others.

Later, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is now probing the case, took him into custody following a court order, and questioned Roy for days.

Meanwhile, the CBI is likely to conduct a polygraph test on the R G Kar Hospital’s former principal Sandip Ghosh and four other doctors. Ghosh has been questioned for more than 88 hours in the last week in connection with the R G Kar rape and murder case.

As per investigators, the polygraph test will held to help them understand the case better but would not be admissible in court.
