Kolkata junior doctor rape and murder: The Supreme Court heard the case of rape and murder of a junior doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on Thursday. During this, the CBI submitted its status report to the court. Dozens of lawyers from both sides were present inside the court. But even they did not get a chance to see or read the CBI’s status report. The reason was that the investigation is still going on and the disclosure of this status report may affect the investigation.
But obviously the whole country was watching the live streaming of this entire Supreme Court proceeding through social media and media. With the hope that what investigation did the CBI do in this case in the last ten days? What is the truth of this case? And how similar or different is the investigation of Kolkata Police from the investigation of CBI? But since the status report was extremely confidential, the answers to these questions could not be revealed.
It is not known what is inside this status report of CBI submitted to the Supreme Court. But the information that Aaj Tak has received from CBI sources is very shocking. So, apart from the status report, let us tell you what conclusion the CBI has reached regarding this case after the investigation of the last 10 days.
So according to the information received by Aaj Tak from CBI sources, the junior doctor of RJ Kar Hospital was not gang-raped. Rather, it was a rape. And the one who raped and murdered the junior doctor after the rape was Sanjay Roy alone. The same Sanjay Roy who was arrested by Kolkata Police on 9 August itself. And the same Sanjay Roy who is currently in CBI custody.
According to sources, the line of investigation of Kolkata Police and then CBI was the same regarding the scene of crime i.e. the seminar hall. Actually, only one suspect was seen in the CCTV footage going towards the seminar hall and that was Sanjay Roy. Apart from this, no suspect was seen going towards the seminar hall from 3 am to 5:30 am. Most of the people who were seen passing by in the camera were seen busy in their respective wards or their work within three to five minutes. The proof of which was given by the CCTV cameras installed at those places. That is, there was only one Sanjay Roy who stayed in the seminar hall for more than 40 minutes. The Bluetooth neckband recovered from the seminar hall and its connection with Sanjay Roy’s mobile also became an important evidence in this case.
According to sources, Sanjay Roy had confessed his crime to Kolkata Police on 9th August itself. After this, when he went into CBI custody on 14th August, he not only confessed his crime, but also told the entire story of the night and morning of the incident. But despite the confession of the accused, first Kolkata Police and then CBI were looking for concrete evidence. And this search ended on the forensic report.
According to sources, Central Forensic Science Lab Kolkata has submitted its report to CBI. This report was awaited because it was to be known whether the case was of rape or gangrape. And the forensic report gave the answer. According to the forensic report received by CBI, the DNA profiles of the victim and the accused i.e. Sanjay Roy matched. Not only this, in the forensic investigation, the DNA profile of anyone other than Sanjay Roy was not found in the private parts of the victim. This means that the victim was raped. Not gangraped. That means at least Sanjay Roy was the only one involved in the rape case. And during this rape, Sanjay Roy killed the junior doctor. That means the CBI report is exactly the same as what came out in the initial four days of investigation by Kolkata Police.
Now the question is why the CBI has not disclosed its investigation till now? So according to sources, there are still many aspects left in this case, which are still under investigation. Actually, the CBI is trying to find out whether any attempt was made to erase the evidence from the crime scene after the incident? Was the FIR filed deliberately late? Did the principal hatch any conspiracy to hush up the case? And was all this done to save his own and the hospital’s reputation?
This is the reason why for the last five days, CBI is continuously conducting RG and questioning the hospital’s principal Sandeep Ghosh. This questioning is being done to connect all the links of negligence after the incident. And if CBI sources are to be believed, if evidence is found that from the morning of 9th August till the night, there was tampering of evidence inside the hospital premises, then CBI can also arrest Principal Ghosh on this charge.
Today, the Supreme Court also raised many questions regarding the delay and negligence on the part of the hospital administration on the day of the incident i.e. 9 August. The court was repeatedly asking when the DD entry was made on the day of the incident? When was the case diary registered? When was the FIR written? At what time was the post-mortem done? When was the body handed over to the family? When was the last rites performed? At what time was the Panchnama done?
During the hearing, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud said that the DD entry was registered at 10:10 am, while the FIR was written at 11:30 pm. This is disturbing. Along with this, Justice Pardiwala asked West Bengal government lawyer Kapil Sibal that when you took the body for postmortem, was it a case of unnatural death or not? If it was not an unnatural death, then what was the need for postmortem? He said that you tell me that before the FIR, when did you mention in the police diary that it was an unnatural death?
Justice Pardiwala said that the unnatural death was reported at 11:30 pm and the FIR was registered at 11:45 pm, is this fact correct? On this, West Bengal government lawyer Kapil Sibal said that the post-mortem took place between 6 and 7 pm and the unnatural death was registered at 1:45 pm. On this, the Supreme Court said that how can we match both the reports? It is surprising that the post-mortem takes place before the registration of unnatural death.
The court seemed very angry with the attitude of the West Bengal government and especially the police. The Chief Justice said – you should look at your documents. The entry in the police diary is at 5:20 am. The police was informed at 10:10 am from the hospital that a woman was lying in a semi-nude state. The medical board gave the opinion that she was raped and the police GD entry shows that the crime scene was cordoned off after the post-mortem.
Justice Pardiwala angrily said that he had never seen the way the state government acted in this case in his 30 years of career. He also questioned the role of the assistant superintendent of the hospital and said that her conduct was suspicious. On this, Kapil Sibal said that she is a woman.
Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Mishra read the status report of the Kolkata junior doctor case, which the CBI had handed over to them in a sealed envelope a while ago. The three justices kept reading this status report of several pages for a long time. Since this status report is currently confidential, all three read it silently. This was the report in which the initial truth of the murder and rape or gang rape of the Kolkata junior doctor was written. In this report, the CBI had written the complete report of its investigation so far. Before the court proceedings ended, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who was pleading on behalf of the government, formally appealed to the court to seal this status report back in the envelope and keep it in the court’s custody.
On Thursday, the timeline of the case was submitted in the Supreme Court by both Kolkata Police and CBI. But the Supreme Court expressed surprise that the timing of the sequence in both the timelines is different. The court said how can this be? Apart from the Kolkata Police officials, the Joint Director of CBI was also present during the hearing in the court.
