Kolkata Rape-Murder: Accused Sanjay Roy Caught on Camera Observing Victim Before Crime

New Delhi/Kolkata: As CBI officials tightened the noose around Sanjay Roy, the accused in the RG Kar Hospital rape and murder case, a CCTV footage collected from the hospital, allegedly showed the 'civic volunteer' near the chest department ward at around 11 am on August 8. "The footage showed him entering the same building (hospital premises) again at around 4 am on August 9", a CBI officer said.

What's In The CCTV Footage?

In the CCTV footage, Roy could be seen staring at the victim. He was entering the hospital at 4 am, prompting the agency to suspect that the crime occurred around this time.

Moreover, evidence showed that the victim arrived at the seminar hall at approximately 1 am on August 9 and was last seen at 2:30 am.

A junior doctor reported having a conversation with her during this time, after which the victim was said to have “gone back to sleep.”

Accused Roy, A Pervert, Addicted to Pornography

The CBI officer also said that the psychoanalytic profile of the arrested accused in the rape and murder of the woman doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Sanjay Roy, indicated that he was a pervert and severely addicted to pornography.

Quoting the doctors from New Delhi's Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL), the officer also said that the civic volunteer of the Kolkata Police has an "animal-like instinct". The body of the post-graduate trainee was found in the seminar room of the hospital on August 9. The civic volunteer was arrested the next day in this connection.

'No Remorse'

"The man showed no repentance and narrated the entire episode giving every minute detail without hiccups. It appeared that he had no remorse," the official of the central probe agency told PTI on Thursday.

Besides, several pornographic contents were found in the mobile phone that Roy was using and later seized by the Kolkata Police before the investigation was handed over to the CBI on an order of the Calcutta High Court. The CBI officer said that pieces of evidence, both technical and scientific, "very much support" that the accused was present at the crime scene.

The officer did not want to divulge anything about the DNA tests conducted on Roy. He also refused to comment on the ongoing buzz that there was no gangrape in this case. The CBI officers have visited Roy's residence in Bhowanipore, spoke to his family members, neighbours and also to his colleagues in the Kolkata Police force.
