A dramatic video going viral on social media showed the close aide of Sanjoy Roy, the main accused in the Kolkata trainee doctor’s rape and murder case, frantically running towards the CBI Special Crime Branch office for questioning.
As he was running towards the building, one of the journalists chasing him from behind asked him how long he had known Roy. However, he did not answer and kept on running.
Watch the video:
Roy, 33, has been accused of raping and murdering the 31-year-old second-year trainee doctor. He, a civic volunteer, was arrested the day after the victim's body was discovered in the seminar hall of the hospital on August 9.
As per reports, a preliminary investigation revealed that Roy had consumed alcohol before committing the crime.
CCTV footage installed inside the hospital showed Roy entering the hospital’s emergency building at 4 am on the day of the crime wearing a Bluetooth device. However, Roy was seen leaving the building 40 minutes later without the Bluetooth device.
As per reports, it was subsequently recovered near the victim’s body. A forensic analysis linked the device to Roy’s phone, establishing a connection to the crime.
