Prime accused in RG Kar Hospital rape and murder case, Sanjay Roy on Monday made a shocking claim, accusing former Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal of conspiring the whole case and framing him. He made the accusations from the police van while he was being taken from the Sealdah Court.
He said, "I am telling you it was Vineet Goyal (former Kolkata Police Commissioner) who conspired the whole thing (rape and murder of RG Kar Medical College resident doctor) and framed me."
Roy was taken to Sealday court as trial in the case began today. The court proceedings were held in-camera at the court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Anirban Das. Roy was brought to the court in the afternoon and the proceedings were being held behind closed doors.
Roy has been booked under Section 64 of the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita (rape), Section 66 (punishment for causing death or resulting in a persistent vegetative state) and 103 (punishment for murder). Notably, Roy was arrested by the Kolkata Police on August 10, a day after the on-duty woman doctor's semi-naked body was found inside the seminar room of the RG Kar Hospital. Later, on the directions of the Calcutta High Court, the CBI took up the probe of the case.
