Roy, 33, has been accused of raping and murdering the 31-year-old second-year trainee doctor. He, a civic volunteer, was arrested the day after the victim’s body was discovered in the seminar hall of the hospital on August 9.
As per reports, a preliminary investigation revealed that Roy had consumed alcohol before committing the crime.
CCTV footage installed inside the hospital showed Roy entering the hospital’s emergency building at 4 am on the day of the crime wearing a Bluetooth device. However, Roy was seen leaving the building 40 minutes later without the Bluetooth device.
As per reports, it was subsequently recovered near the victim’s body. A forensic analysis linked the device to Roy’s phone, establishing a connection to the crime.
Meanwhile, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) continued its investigation on Tuesday into the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata.
