CBI Chargesheet on Doctor’s rape-murder, Sanjoy Roy is accused

The Central Bureau of Investigation has ruled out gang rape in the doctor's rape and murder at Kolkata's RG Kar hospital, an incident that had shaken the country. Sanjoy Roy, who used to work with the Kolkata Police on a contractual basis, had raped and murdered the doctor, the CBI said in its charge sheet today.

The central agency, which completed the probe within two months, submitted the charge sheet at the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate's court at Sealdah this afternoon.

The statements of about 200 people have been recorded in the charge sheet, which names Roy as the main accused, according to CBI sources.

The doctor was found dead at the hospital on August 9 and subsequent investigations revealed the horror she had gone through. The court had asked the CBI to take over the probe amid nationwide protests. Roy, who frequented the hospital, was arrested a day later by Kolkata Police. They handed him over to the CBI along with other evidence when they took over.
