CBI seeks polygraph test on Kolkata police officer linked to accused in doctor's rape-murder case.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has sought permission from a Kolkata court to conduct a polygraph test on city police assistant sub-inspector Anup Dutta who was said to be close to Sanjay Roy, the arrested accused in the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at R.G. Kar medical college, officials said Tuesday (August 27, 2024).

According to reports, Mr. Dutt was allegedly instrumental in extending various favours to Mr. Roy, they said.
The central probe agency is trying to find out if Mr. Roy told Mr. Dutt about the crime and received any help, they said.
They said the court would decide the application for a polygraph test after seeking Mr. Dutt’s consent on the issue.
The CBI completed polygraph tests on former principal of the medical college Sandip Ghosh on Tuesday (August 27, 2024), the third day of subjecting him to a series of Deception Detection Tests (DDT), they said.
