Accused In Kolkata Doctor Rape, Murder Case Claims Innocence
On Friday, Sanjoy Roy, the prime suspect in the assault and tragic death of a 31-year-old trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, broke down in front of the judge, claiming his innocence. The CBI presented Sanjoy Roy in a Kolkata court and requested permission to conduct a lie-detection test, known as a polygraph test, on him and other people connected to the case. A polygraph test, which helps determine if someone is telling the truth, can only be carried out after both the court and the person give their consent.
As per The Times of India, Sanjoy Roy burst into tears when the judge asked him why he agreed to the lie-detection test. He told the court that he agreed to the test because he believed he was innocent. He stated that he hadn’t committed any crime and that he was being set up. Hence, Sanjay Roy thinks that the polygraph test will prove his innocence. Following this, the court permitted the polygraph test on Sanjoy Roy. Furthermore, he was also sentenced to spend 14 days in judicial custody. The tragic incident took place on August 9, when a 31-year-old trainee doctor was brutally raped and murdered at her workplace. Nationwide, doctors protested, demanding justice and better safety measures.
