Assistant sub-inspector Anup Dutta will undergo a polygraph test after the Kolkata court granted permission to CBI. According to reports, Anup Dutta is associated with the accused, Sanjay Roy, in the Kolkata doctor rape and murder case. Accused Sanjay Roy has been sent to 14 days judicial custody. The purpose of this test is to determine whether Anup Dutta was involved in any attempts to cover up the crime with the accused. 

Who Is Anup Dutta Who Allegedly Helped Accused In Kolkata Doctor Rape, Murder Case?

According to PTI, CBI officials want to find out whether the accused, Sanjay Roy, shared details of the crime with Anup Dutta and if Anup Dutta provided any assistance to the crime. Anup Dutta is currently under investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) due to his close association with Dr Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College. Anup was spotted in several pictures alongside Sandip Ghosh. As per reports, Anup is under investigation for allegedly helping Sanjay Roy with unauthorised access to police quarters and a police motorcycle. Since police civic volunteers are not granted such privileges, Sanjay Roy wasn’t eligible for it either.

Furthermore, Anup Dutta is a member of the Kolkata Police Welfare Committee. The accused, Sanjay Roy, was also a member of the committee. His role was to visit police officers and their family members admitted to various hospitals. Investigators are trying to find out how Sanjay managed to enter the seminar hall at RG Kar Hospital and College between 3 and 5 am, where the crime took place. Since outsiders are not allowed in hospital wards during those hours, the officials are investigating whether the ASI Dutta helped the accused. Moreover, according to News18, CBI discovered that Sanjay Roy called the ASI on August 9.
