Kolkata hospital horror: A patient needed oxygen, was looking for a doctor, says accused Sanjay Roy
Times of India | 1 September 2024
KOLKATA: Sanjay Roy, the prime accused in the rape and murder of the R G Kar Hospital PGT doctor, has told CBI investigators that he had gone to the upper floor of the hospital in the wee hours of Aug 9 to look for a doctor as a patient known to him was in need of oxygen.
Roy, who has undergone a polygraph test, has told the investigators that he did not intend to go to the seminar room but had entered there accidentally.
Roy told CBI that on Aug 9, the patient was supposed to be operated on. The patient’s condition had reportedly deteriorated and he was looking for a doctor to attend to him. At this juncture, he had entered the seminar hall on the third floor of the hospital.
Roy also claimed that there was no security at the gate and nobody stopped him. CBI has already run two security guards through a polygraph test to ascertain Roy’s claim. The accused, sources said, told investigators that he entered the room and saw someone lying there. Claiming that he did not know the woman, he shook the body but there was no response. He panicked at this stage and rushed out. He stumbled on something and his Bluetooth device fell there. Investigators doubt his statement as the CCTV grab at 11 am on Aug 8 shows him staring at the doctor when four other juniors were present with her.
Roy’s lawyer Kabita Sarkar, who met him at the correctional home, said they were waiting for the next date of hearing to present his version of the incident. “He has gone through a polygraph test and we are sure that the judge will give him the opportunity to be heard,” she said.
