Read the report: Kolkata doctor case: CBI says prime accused underwent lie detector test today

According to the Calcutta police, Sanjay Roy confessed to the rape and murder of the 31-year-old doctor-in-training in the seminar room of the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

On Saturday, Sanjay Roy's lie detector test was postponed due to technical reasons. It is likely to be held on Sunday, the HT report said.

Six people, including former school principal Dr. Sandip Ghosh and four other doctors, were subjected to the lie detector test on Saturday.

Sanjay Roy is housed in cell number 21 of the prison and is under strict guard. He is alone in the cell. CCTV cameras have been installed outside his cell to keep a close watch on him.

On Friday, he made similar statements in the court of the Chief Magistrate (ACJM) in Sealdah. He told the judge that he had agreed to the test to prove his innocence, adding that he knew nothing about the case.

What did the authorities say about Sanjay Roy’s claim?

However, the CBI and police found glaring contradictions in his statements. An officer told HT that he was trying to mislead investigators. The officer said he could not provide any explanation for the injuries on his face and his presence in the building at the time of the crime.

“He tried to mislead the investigators. He could not give a satisfactory answer about the fresh injuries on his face and other parts of his body, as well as the video footage showing his presence in the corridor leading to the crime scene at 4:03 a.m., a few minutes before the crime,” the officer said.

“Sanjay Roy is a pervert”

Sanjay Roy's psychoanalytic profile revealed that he was a pervert and severely addicted to pornography. A CBI official quoted a doctor as saying that he had an animalistic instinct.

A CBI official told PTI last week that Sanjay Roy showed no remorse for the crime that sparked nationwide outrage. He narrated the entire crime to the investigating agency without showing any remorse.

“The man showed no remorse and described the entire episode in great detail without missing a beat. It seemed as if he felt no remorse,” the agency official said.

Meanwhile, the news agency reported that the CBI questioned over 15 people on Sunday as part of its ongoing investigation, including 10 police officers and volunteers.

What happened at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9?

The woman was found raped and murdered in the hospital's seminar hall on the morning of August 9. Hours before her body was discovered, she had gone to the hall to rest during her 36-hour shift. Her autopsy revealed 16 external and 9 internal injuries, including to her genitals.

Analysis of CCTV footage revealed that Sanjay Roy entered the building at around 4:03 a.m. on August 9. On August 8, he went to the pulmonary department and was seen on cameras staring at the victim's doctor and others.
