Accused’s former mother-in-law claims he thrashed ex-wife, caused miscarriage
Kolkata doctor rape-murder
Kolkata: As the investigation and protests intensify over the rape and murder of a trainee medic in Kolkata, the former mother-in-law of the accused civic volunteer Sanjoy Roy claimed that he was abusive and had a history of violence. She revealed that Roy allegedly assaulted his previous wife and caused a miscarriage during his marriage to her daughter, who was three months pregnant at the time. She further asserted that Roy should be "hanged" for his crime.
Describing the strained relationship with Roy, the woman indicated that her daughter's marriage to him, which was his second, was troubled. She mentioned that while the initial months of their marriage were relatively peaceful, the situation deteriorated, leading to violent incidents.
In a statement to ANI, she said that Roy’s marriage with her daughter lasted for two years. “Initially, everything was good for six months. When she was three months pregnant, he caused a miscarriage. He thrashed her, a police complaint was registered for the same,” she said. She also mentioned that her daughter continued to suffer from health issues, and she covered all of her medical expenses.
She also doubted that Roy was involved alone in the alleged rape and murder of the 31-year-old trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9. She suggested that additional individuals might have been involved, emphasising that Roy alone may not have been capable of committing such a crime. She called for severe punishment, stating, "Hang him or do whatever you want with him. I won't speak about the crime. He could not have done it alone. He doesn’t have the capacity to do it alone. "
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which is overseeing the case, is expected to conduct a polygraph test on Roy on Tuesday.

Emotional tributes paid to cops killed in blast at gunpowder dump of Maoists in Chhattisgarh
Narayanpur (Chhattisgarh) (PTI): Emotional scenes were witnessed on Sunday as wreaths were laid on the mortal remains of three of the four police personnel killed in an explosion in a gunpowder dump of Maoists in Chhattisgarh's Kanker district.
The grieving family members were inconsolable, while security personnel tried to comfort them.
Amid chants of "Bharat Mata ki Jai" and "Vande Mataram," public representatives, along with senior police and administrative officials, paid tributes to the deceased personnel.
The wreath-laying ceremony to pay homage to Inspector Sukhram Vatti (40), constables Krishna Komra (35) and Sanjay Gadhpale (29), killed in the explosion on Saturday, was held at the Police Lines in Narayanpur district, neighbouring Kanker.
The mortal remains of constable Parmanand Komra (29), who succumbed to injuries during treatment in Raipur, will be shifted to Kanker, where a separate wreath-laying ceremony will be held, police said.
Inspector General of Police, Bastar Range, Sundarraj Pattilingam, after paying homage, told reporters that the four police personnel made the supreme sacrifice while protecting the region.
"I pay my homage to them," he added.
The four personnel were killed while they were attempting to dispose of a gunpowder dump hidden earlier by Maoists in a forest near Aadnar village under Chhotebethiya police station limits in Kanker district, according to police.
It was the first explosion linked to Naxalites in the state since it was declared free from armed Maoists on March 31, and also the first instance this year in which security personnel engaged in anti-Naxal operations lost their lives.
District Reserve Guard (DRG) official Vatti, who was leading the team, hailed from Bijapur district. Constable Krishna Komra of the district force and constables Gadhpale and Parmanand Komra of the Bastar Fighters were residents of different villages in Kanker.
