New Delhi: Sanjoy Roy, the main accused in the rape and murder case of a junior doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, on Friday turned emotional before a judge claiming that he was innocent.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had presented Sanjoy Roy before the court in Kolkata and sought permission for a polygraph test of the accused and suspects in the case.
The lie detection test can only be conducted after obtaining the court’s and suspect’s consent.
Sanjoy Roy reportedly broke down when the judge asked why he was consenting to the polygraph test, The Times of India reported. He told the court that he consented to the test as he believed he was innocent. “I haven’t committed any crime. I’m being framed. Maybe this test will prove that,” the newspaper quoted Sanjoy Roy as saying.
Notably, the court then allowed a polygraph test to be conducted on Sanjoy Roy. It also sent him to 14 days of judicial custody.
The court also granted permission for a polygraph test on the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Sandip Ghosh, and five others connected to the case. These five individuals include four doctors who had dinner with the deceased doctor on the night of the incident and Roy.
