Kolkata Rape-Murder Case: As the investigation and protests continue following the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar College and Hospital, the accused Sanjoy Roy's mother-in-law claimed that there can be a possibility of more people being involved in the crime. She said that Roy could not have done it alone.
Giving details about Roy, she told ANI on Monday that she had a very bad relationship with him. The accused’s mother-in-law further stated that Roy used to thrash her daughter, against which a police complaint was filed.
"My relations with him were very bad. I couldn't have seen my daughter like that. They were married for 2 years. His marriage to my daughter was his second marriage. Initially, everything was good for 6 months,” Roy’s mother-in-law said.
“When she was 3 months pregnant, he caused a miscarriage. He thrashed her, a police complaint was registered for the same. Following this, my daughter continued being ill, and I bore all her expenses for medicines. Sanjoy was not good. 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," she added.
Meanwhile, on Tuesday, a close associate of the accused was captured sprinting and reaching the CBI Special Crime Branch office in Kolkata on Monday. The case of rape and murder of the trainee doctor has triggered nationwide outrage and protests across various cities, with calls for justice and punishment for the accused.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday heard the suo motu case over the rape and murder of a doctor at the RG Kar Medical College Hospital, Kolkata.
