CBI investigates why influential figures attempted to conceal Sanjay Roy in RG Kar case

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is actively investigating the circumstances surrounding the alleged concealment of Sanjay Roy, the primary suspect in the rape and murder of a young female doctor, who worked at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The investigation has led to significant developments, including the arrest of two influential figures: Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Hospital, and Abhijit Mondal, the officer-in-charge of the Tala police station. Both individuals face multiple charges related to evidence tampering, conspiracy, and misconduct in relation to this high-profile case.

Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer, is accused of committing the violent crime against the doctor, whose body was discovered under shocking circumstances. The CBI's inquiry is now focused on the actions taken by Ghosh and Mondal after the crime, particularly whether they colluded to protect Roy from legal repercussions. The investigation is examining communication records, including phone logs, text messages, and email exchanges between Roy, Ghosh, and Mondal, with the aim of uncovering any direct interactions or instructions that may have facilitated the concealment.

Reports have indicated that there were numerous communications between Ghosh and Mondal in the days surrounding the incident. The CBI is analyzing the timing, frequency, and content of these communications to establish their relevance in the context of the alleged attempts to protect Roy. Notably, investigators have not yet found evidence linking Roy directly to Ghosh or Mondal prior to the crime, which complicates the narrative surrounding potential collusion.

As part of their investigation, CBI officials are reviewing CCTV footage from various locations, including RG Kar Hospital and surrounding areas, to trace Roy's movements leading up to and after the incident. The agency is looking for any visual evidence that might corroborate claims of his interactions with hospital staff or officials. The CBI is also under pressure to present a charge sheet against Ghosh and Mondal by early November, outlining the evidence gathered against them. Meanwhile, the trial for Sanjay Roy is set to commence, with public scrutiny heightened over the actions of influential figures and the potential for corruption within the legal system.
