RG Kar case: CBI files chargesheet against Sanjay Roy; no mention of gang rape

The CBI has filed a chargesheet against Sanjay Roy, the prime accused in the rape-murder case of a trainee doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.

Officials told news agency PTI that in the chargesheet filed before a special court in Kolkata on Monday (October 7), the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) said Roy committed the crime on August 9 when the victim went to sleep in the seminar room of the hospital during a break.

The agency did not mention “gang rape” in its chargesheet, as widely claimed by the public, indicating that Roy, who was then working as a civic volunteer with the local police, committed the crime alone, the officials said.

The CBI has kept the probe open.
