Kolkata, August 12: Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer, has been arrested for the rape and murder of a woman postgraduate trainee doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Sanjay Roy, who had multiple failed marriages, was found with porn on his mobile phone.

As per the India Today report, the neighbours revealed that Roy, who was married four times, had three wives leave him due to his abusive behaviour, while his fourth wife died of cancer last year. Roy, who frequently returned home late at night in a drunken state, had easy access to several hospital departments due to his role as a civic volunteer with the police welfare board. Who Is Sanjay Roy, Prime Accused in Kolkata Trainee Doctor Rape-Murder Case?

The police also found Roy's phone filled with pornographic materials. Despite being a contractual staff member earning around INR 12,000 a month, Roy used his contacts to stay at police barracks and roamed around in a t-shirt with "KP" (Kolkata Police) written on it, NDTV reported.

Roy was reportedly involved in a hospital racket. Roy allegedly charged patients’ relatives for securing admissions and finding beds at nearby nursing homes when government hospital beds were unavailable. Roy’s activities extended beyond his official duties, exploiting his position to demand money from desperate families. This revelation adds another layer to the shocking case, highlighting the abuse of power and trust within the hospital system.

Reports indicate that Roy admitted to the crime during police questioning, showing no remorse. "Hang me if you want", he told cops nonchalantly, the report said. He was caught on CCTV entering the emergency building around 4 am on Friday, with the doctor's semi-nude body found in the same building hours later. The preliminary autopsy report indicated sexual abuse before her murder, leading her father to allege that she was raped and murdered inside the hospital.
