RG Kar Doctor Death: Amid the uproar over the case of a junior doctor's rape-and-murder at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College & Hospital, the police have secured the suspect's purported "confession". In the "confession", the suspect, civic volunteer Sanjay Roy, has reportedly said that he was the lone culprit in the case, according to a report by Anandabazar Patrika Online.


He was stationed outside RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. His connection to the crime was established after he was caught on the CCTV camera entering the building.


The report cited police sources as saying that he returned home after committing the crime on August 9. When the corpse was discovered the next morning, it created a massive uproar as the media highlighted the death. His neighbours were aware that he would often go to RG Kar MCH. So, they went to him and asked about the details. However, he feigned ignorance in the case. A neighbour said that he was extremely composed for a person who had committed such a crime not even 24 hours ago.

However, his demeanour seems to have changed after his arrest.


News website India Today reported that during his custodial interrogation, Sanjay Roy confessed to the crime and even sought capital punishment for himself. The report mentioned that Sanjay Roy even admitted that he was violent towards the women in his family, including his mother, sister, and wife. Sanjay's mother-in-law had earlier complained against him, alleging physical violence against his wife.


However, it is pertinent to mention that none of the reports said that the confession was recorded in the presence of a magistrate.

Chief Justice T S Sivagnanam questioned the move to appoint Sandeep Ghosh, who resigned as RG Kar MCH principal, principal of the Calcutta National Medical College & Hospital in Kolkata.


According to news agency ANI, the court asked him to submit a leave application by 3 PM on Tuesday, failing which the HC will pass an order for him to vacate the post. The court said he could be holding an administrative post, but he should have been the first one to be questioned.


The court asked the state counsel: "Why are you protecting him? Record his statement. Let him say whatever he knows." 


The Chief Justice of Calcutta High Court also summoned the case diary in the RG Kar case besides Sandeep Ghosh's resignation letter and new appointment letter. The court said that the emotions of the protesting doctors must be taken seriously as one of their colleagues was brutally killed.
