"Framed me...": Accused in RG Kar rape-murder case claims former Kolkata CP's involvement

Kolkata (West Bengal) [India], November 11 (ANI): In a major revelation in the rape and murder case for a second-year medical student of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, the main accused, Sanjay Roy claimed that he was falsely framed in the matter and alleged that the former Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal has conspired the whole thing against him.
While being taken from the Sealdah Court on Monday after the hearing, Roy from the police van shouted at the reporters, stating that it was the former CP who had conspired and framed him.
He further said that there were other big officers related to this case and that he was also threatened by them.

"I am telling you it was Vineet Goyal (former Kolkata Police Commissioner) who conspired the whole thing (rape and murder of RG Kar Medical College resident doctor) and framed me...They had threatened me and there were other big officers in it," Roy said.
On November 4, Sealdah Court framed charges against Sanjay Roy in connection with the rape and murder case.
The charges were framed under sections of the Bhartiya Nyay Sahita, and the trial took place today.
This case has drawn significant attention due to its serious nature, and the court's decision marks a major step in the legal proceedings against the accused.
In the wake of this shocking incident, junior doctors have called for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take strict action and ensure capital punishment for those responsible.
As November 9 marks 90 days since the incident, the junior doctors affirmed that protests will continue until justice is served.
"On November 9, we will exhibit all the major events that have taken place so far in this case. I want to say that we will not stop; the protest will continue," a junior doctor, Dr Rajdeep, said.
Earlier on October 22, junior doctors protesting over the case ended their hunger strike after a two-hour meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee at the state secretariat, Nabanna.
Meanwhile, on September 17, IPS officer Manoj Kumar Verma was appointed as the new Commissioner of Police (CP) for Kolkata following the removal of Vineet Kumar Goyal from the position.
The decision comes after West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee agreed to the demands made by junior doctors protesting the recent rape and murder case at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The rape and murder incident unfolded on August 9, when the second-year medical student was found dead in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The incident has ignited protests across West Bengal, with doctors nationwide expressing solidarity with the junior doctors in Kolkata. (ANI)
