A 31-year-old doctor was found raped and brutally murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, causing nationwide outrage. Sanjay Roy, the prime suspect, was identified through CCTV footage, which captured him near the chest department ward observing the victim on August 8. During questioning, Roy admitted to entering the ward earlier that evening. The CBI believes he re-entered the hospital at 4am on August 9, heading to the seminar hall where the victim was later found. The investigation is ongoing as authorities seek to gather more evidence.

RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, facing outrage after a student’s rape and murder, was inaugurated by Lord Carmichael in 1916. It was renamed after Dr Radha Govind Kar in 1948

The PIL, filed by HC advocate Madhurima Basu, alleges the SIT includes officers who were allegedly involved in the scam.
