The mother-in-law of Sanjay Roy, who is accused of the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata, has spoken out about his violent past. She revealed that Roy had caused her daughter to suffer a miscarriage and had physically assaulted her multiple times. She also suggested that others might be involved in the crime, doubting that Roy could have acted alone.
Durga Devi, the mother-in-law, shared that her daughter’s marriage with Roy was troubled. She mentioned that things were good for the first six months, but then Roy’s violent behavior led to a miscarriage. She said that a police complaint was filed after Roy assaulted her daughter and that her daughter’s health continued to suffer afterward.
Durga Devi expressed her strong dislike for Roy, stating that he was not a good person and deserved severe punishment. However, she also indicated that she believes he couldn’t have committed the crime by himself.
The rape and murder of the trainee doctor have sparked outrage and protests across India, with many demanding justice and strict punishment for those responsible. The Supreme Court criticized the West Bengal government for its handling of the case, particularly the delay in filing the First Information Report (FIR) and the initial claim by the hospital that the death was a suicide.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is now leading the investigation. They have been allowed to conduct a polygraph test on Roy and have conducted a 3D laser mapping of the crime scene at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. Additionally, a Special Investigation Team (SIT) has been set up to look into allegations of financial irregularities at the hospital.
The Union government has also ordered the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to take over the security of the hospital, following a Supreme Court directive.
The case has drawn significant attention and raised questions about the safety of medical professionals in West Bengal.
