A newly surfaced CCTV video from RG Kar Medical College has provided critical evidence in the ongoing investigation into the rape and murder of a trainee doctor. The footage, which has gained significant attention online, shows Sanjay Roy, the prime suspect in the case, leaving the seminar hall where the crime occurred.
The footage, dated August 9, depicts Sanjay Roy exiting the seminar hall while wearing a Bluetooth device around his neck and holding a helmet. This newly revealed video bolsters the case against Roy, aligning with other evidence collected at the scene. Police had previously recovered the Bluetooth device from the crime location.
The CCTV video also captures Roy’s movements towards the seminar hall hours before the crime, wearing casual attire and carrying a helmet, which is part of the standard issue for Kolkata Police personnel. This detail corroborates Roy’s presence at the hospital during the time of the incident, adding to the mounting evidence against him.
Why Is This Footage Crucial?
The newly released CCTV footage is pivotal for several reasons:
- Confirmation of Presence: It verifies Roy’s presence at the hospital on the day of the crime, reinforcing other evidence of his involvement.
- Ownership of Evidence: It shows Sanjay Roy with the Bluetooth device that was found at the crime scene, linking him more directly to the incident.
