ASI Anup Dutta, who is said to be an alleged associate of the arrested accused Sanjay Roy, was summoned by the CBI for questioning in Kolkata.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Tuesday summoned Assistant Sub Inspector (ASI) Anup Dutta, who is said to be an alleged associate of the arrested accused Sanjay Roy, in connection with the rape and murder of the 31-year-old trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital earlier this month.

In a video that has surfaced on the internet, ASI Anup Dutta can be seen sprinting to reach the CBI Special Crime Branch office in Kolkata to avoid the media. When he reached the CGO complex, reporters could be heard asking him if he knew Sanjay Roy. CBI has reportedly begun questioning him.

As per media reports, Roy, in 2019, had joined Kolkata Police’s disaster management group as a volunteer. However, he was later transferred to the police welfare cell. Thereafter, he moved to the police outpost at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, as a result of which he had access to all departments of the medical facility.

Despite not being a regular cop, Roy introduced himself as a personnel Kolkata Police personnel and would wear a t-shirt with KP (Kolkata Police) written on it. Even his bike had a KP tag. Roy would often use his connections to stay in the police barracks. Several other civic volunteers thought he was actually a cop due to the false authority he maintained.

The accused's mother-in-law had also claimed that he used to "beat his ex-wife". She also alleged that he had "bashed" his 3-month-pregnant wife and caused a miscarriage. She demanded that Roy be "hanged" for his crime.

"My relations with him were very tense…They were married for 2 years…His marriage to my daughter was his second marriage…Initially, everything was good for 6 months. When she was 3-month pregnant, he caused a miscarriage. He thrashed her, a Police complaint was registered for the same. Following this, my daughter continued being ill, I bore all her expenses for medicines…Sanjoy was not good," ANI quoted Roy's mother-in-law as saying.

"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.

Roy was arrested after his activities were found to be suspicious and a torn piece of his bluetooth earphone was found at the spot.

CBI has been granted to conduct a polygraphy test on Roy by a local court in Kolkata.
