The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) conducted a polygraph test on Sanjay Roy, the suspect in the tragic rape-murder case at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata. The results of the test, conducted at the Presidency jail, raised serious doubts about Roy's claims of innocence. Investigators reported that Roy's responses to questions regarding his alleged innocence were deemed “false and unconvincing.” This finding significantly strengthens the CBI's case against Roy, who was arrested earlier in connection with the brutal murder of a 31-year-old junior doctor.
The polygraph test, also known as a lie detector test, is a tool used by investigators to assess the truthfulness of a suspect's statements by measuring physiological responses like heart rate, blood pressure, and perspiration. While polygraph results are not admissible as evidence in court, they can provide valuable insight into a suspect's credibility and help investigators focus their investigation. The CBI's findings from the polygraph test on Roy seem to indicate a lack of truthfulness in his claims, further fueling suspicions surrounding his role in the tragic events at RG Kar Hospital.
The controversy surrounding the polygraph test doesn't end there. Roy's state-appointed lawyer expressed strong disapproval of the CBI's actions, alleging a violation of the National Human Rights Commission's guidelines. She argued that the CBI had failed to inform her about the test, denying her the opportunity to be present during the proceedings. The lawyer's accusation highlights the delicate balance between ensuring a fair legal process and the investigation's need for expediency. The CBI's failure to include the defense lawyer in the process could potentially raise concerns about the legality and fairness of the test and its findings.
Despite the mounting evidence against him, including forensic findings that link him to the crime scene, Roy maintained his innocence throughout the questioning. He claimed that the victim was already dead when he found her and that he ran away in fear. However, the CBI, armed with the polygraph test results and the forensic evidence, finds his alibis unconvincing. The case against Roy appears to be strengthening, and the investigation is likely to continue as the CBI attempts to piece together the tragic events that led to the doctor's death. This case has ignited widespread public outrage and has raised important questions about the safety of healthcare professionals and the need for stringent security measures in hospitals.
