Kolkata rape-murder case: Court turns down CBI plea for narco test on prime accused Sanjoy Roy

CBI's request for narco test on accused in doctor's rape-murder case denied by local court.

A local court here on Friday (September 13, 2024) turned down CBI’s appeal to conduct a narco analysis test on the prime accused in the alleged rape and murder of a doctor at the R.G. Kar hospital here, an officer said.

The arrested accused, Sanjay Roy, denied to undergo the test, he said.

Roy had initially agreed to take the test but later changed his mind, CBI sources claimed.

The central probe agency had appealed to the city-based Sealdah court, seeking permission to conduct the test on Roy.

"The accused did not agree to undergo the narco analysis test when the judge asked him about it," the officer said.

The CBI was planning to conduct the narco test on Roy to cross-check his version in the case.

The accused was earlier brought to the Sealdah court, where the judge spoke to him personally to find out whether he had any objection to the test.
