Amid intensified protests over Kolkata rape and murder case, a psychological test is being conducted on the accused Sanjay Roy on Sunday, CBI sources said on Sunday. The test is being conducted with the help of a team of five experts from CBI's Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL). Earlier, the CBI had sent an expert team to Kolkata for this purpose.
The CFSL team will carry out the psychological assessment to understand the accused’s mental state and mindset. Notably, this assessment will evaluate the psychological profile of Roy, which could provide insights into his behavior and motives.
