RG Kar Doctor Death Case: Sanjay Roy, the prime accused in the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata, allegedly has a history of marital troubles, with neighbours revealing that three of his four wives left him due to his "misconduct." According to a report by India Today, Roy's neighbours claimed that he had been married four times, with three of his previous wives abandoning him because of his abusive behaviour. His fourth wife passed away last year due to cancer. The neighbours also alleged that Roy often returned home late at night in an inebriated state.
However, Sanjay Roy's mother, Malati Roy, vehemently denied the allegations against her son, asserting that he had only admitted to the crime under police pressure, the report stated. "My son is innocent. He has confessed to the crime under the pressure of police," she stated.
