CBI Seeks Narco Test for Sanjoy Roy in Kolkata Hospital Case

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has approached the Sealdah court in Kolkata to request permission for a narco-analysis test on Sanjoy Roy, who is accused in the R G Kar Hospital rape and murder case. The court hearing was held behind closed doors, and the consent of the accused is required for the narco test.

Previously, Sanjoy Roy, along with the principal of R G Kar College and others, underwent a polygraph test. Junior doctors have been protesting against the rape and murder of a second-year PG student in the seminar hall of the college on August 9. They held their protest in front of Swasthya Bhawan.

Mamata Banerjee Offers Resignation

On Thursday, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee announced her willingness to resign amid the ongoing protests. She stated, “I am ready to resign from the Chief Minister of West Bengal. I am not concerned about the post. I want justice for the victim, I am only concerned about ordinary people getting medical service.” She assured that no action would be taken against the protesting doctors.

Mamata Banerjee also mentioned her efforts to resolve the issue, saying, “I tried my best to sit with the junior doctors. I waited three days for them to come and settle their problem. Even when they didn’t accept the verdict of the Supreme Court, I waited 3 days with my highest officials, including Chief Secretary, Home Secretary, DG, and my MoS. I am sorry. I apologize to the people of this country and the world who are supporting them (doctors), please give your support. We want justice for the victim. We want justice for the common people. We want justice for the treatment of common people. We want that, as per Supreme Court instruction, they must join their duty. Though, 3 days passed after the Supreme Court verdict but we are not taking any disciplinary action because sometimes we have to tolerate. It is our duty to tolerate sometimes.”

Governor’s Response

Meanwhile, Bengal Governor C V Ananda Bose announced that he would “socially boycott” Mamata Banerjee, referring to her as the “Lady Macbeth of West Bengal.” In a video message, he stated, “In solidarity with the Bengal society, I resolve that I will socially boycott the Chief Minister. Socially boycott means I will not be sharing any public platform with the Chief Minister nor will I participate in any public program which involves the Chief Minister. My role as Governor will be confined to the constitutional obligations. Nothing more, nothing less. I am deeply pained that serious allegations of a criminal nature have been levelled against the highest officer who is supposed to prevent crime in Kolkata, the Kolkata Police Commissioner.”
