Abhishek absent at Mamata’s protesta march, TMC ‘split’ on Kolkata rape-murder evident

On Tuesday, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is set to carry out a polygraph test on Sanjoy Roy, the individual accused in the high-profile Kolkata rape and murder case. The decision to proceed with this test was approved by a local court on Monday after the CBI formally requested it.

Sanjoy Roy, who works as a civic volunteer, stands accused of the heinous rape and murder of a 31-year-old junior doctor associated with RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The tragic incident took place on August 9 and has since sparked widespread outrage. The polygraph test is the latest investigative step, following a psychoanalysis test that was already conducted on Roy, aiming to delve deeper into his possible involvement in the crime.

As of now, Sanjoy Roy remains the primary suspect identified by the CBI in connection with the case. However, the victim’s parents have expressed grave concerns, alleging that the crime may not have been committed by Roy alone. They believe that their daughter was a victim of gang rape, hinting at the possibility that others within the hospital might also have been involved.

This case has drawn significant public attention, especially as new developments continue to emerge. Among these are some serious accusations made against Roy by his mother-in-law. She has come forward with claims that Roy was not only abusive but had physically assaulted both his wife and her daughter. This violence, according to her, led to a miscarriage, further painting a troubling picture of Roy’s character.

In the broader context of the case, protests against the West Bengal government have gained momentum. On Monday, these protests escalated following actions taken by the Kolkata Police to counter misinformation being spread on social media. This crackdown has resulted in the arrest of an individual who had not only disclosed the identity of the victim but also issued threats against Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.

Additionally, the police have questioned two senior doctors, Kunal Sarkar and Subarna Goswami, who had been active online, sharing details related to the case. Both doctors had earlier led a significant march comprising hundreds of healthcare professionals from Calcutta Medical College. Their involvement has highlighted the growing tensions within the medical community, as they demand justice and transparency in the investigation.

As this case continues to unfold, it underscores the complexities and sensitivities surrounding such tragic incidents, where both the legal and societal implications are profound. The CBI's ongoing investigation, including the upcoming polygraph test, will likely play a crucial role in determining the direction and outcome of this case. Meanwhile, the public and media scrutiny remain intense, with many looking to the authorities for a resolution that ensures justice for the victim and her family.
