Sanjay Roy claims innocence in Kolkata doctor's rape-murder case, alleges he is being framed
Kolkata: Sanjay Roy, the prime accused in the rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, has asserted his innocence, claiming he is being framed. Roy was arrested on August 10, a day after the incident, based on CCTV footage and the discovery of his Bluetooth headset in the seminar hall where the crime occurred.
According to Roy's lawyer, Kavita Sarkar, he maintained his innocence during a polygraph test conducted by the CBI. Roy stated that he did not commit the crime and that the doctor was already unconscious when he entered the seminar hall on August 9. He claimed that he panicked upon finding her covered in blood and left the room.
Despite the evidence against him, Roy insists he did not know the victim and that he did not report the incident to the police because he feared no one would believe him. His lawyer suggested that there might have been a security lapse on the night of the incident, allowing someone else to commit the crime.
The case has sparked widespread outrage, with the autopsy revealing that the victim had been sexually assaulted and suffered 25 external and internal injuries.
The investigation is ongoing as Roy prepares to plead not guilty.

Taking cognisance of the complaint, the hospital administration constituted a three-member inquiry committee, officials said.
