The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has initiated psychological testing on Sanjoy Roy, the main accused in the Kolkata rape and murder case. Roy, who was arrested soon after the tragic incident, is undergoing this assessment under the supervision of five experts from the CBI’s Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL).
Key Details:
- Why the Test?
Roy’s statements during interrogation have been inconsistent, prompting the CBI to conduct a polygraph test to verify his claims. - Who is Roy?
Sanjoy Roy, a civic volunteer, allegedly used his connections with the Trinamool Congress (TMC) to gain privileges in administrative circles. He was stationed at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital police outpost at the time of the incident. - Incident Overview:
On August 9, Roy was on duty at RG Kar Medical College. The following morning, the body of a 31-year-old postgraduate doctor was found in a seminar room. She was partially clothed and had multiple injuries, sparking widespread outrage and a thorough investigation.
Ongoing Investigations:
- Forensic Team at Work:
A forensic team continues to gather evidence from the seminar room where the doctor’s body was discovered. This marks the third day of their investigation. - Psychological Testing Purpose:
The psychological assessment, also known as a “psychological autopsy,” aims to analyze Roy’s habits, routines, and behavior. This includes voice analysis techniques, sometimes referred to as a lie detector test, to determine the accuracy of his statements.
