RG Kar case
RG Kar case: Prime accused Sanjay Roy claims innocence, court frames charges against him
Kolkata/IBNS: Sanjay Roy, who is the prime suspect in the rape and murder of a junior doctor in Kolkata's RG Medical College and Hospital, has claimed innocence and alleged that the government is framing him.
His reiterated claim of innocence came on a day when charges were framed against him in a case that sent shockwaves across the country triggering public fury and massive protests in West Bengal.
As he was being escorted out of the court to the police vehicle, Roy screamed that he has nothing to do with the rape and murder when all media cameras were pinned on him.
"I did not commit any crime. I have been framed in this rape-murder case. No one is willing to listen to my side of the story. The government is framing me and threatening me to shut my mouth. I am being framed to protect the real culprits," he said.
As per the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) chargesheet, Sanjay Roy is the only man who has been accused of the rape and murder of the PGT doctor at the RG Kar facility on August 9.
He has been charged under the BNS sections 103(2), 64, 66. The trial in the case will begin on November 11.
The framing of charges came 87 days after the incident.
Sanjoy is the only person arrested in the RG Kar rape-murder case. In the chargesheet, the CBI has mostly followed the Kolkata Police's claim.
The evidence depends on digital and material proof that establishes him at the scene of the crime on that fateful day.
The probe agency has listed Roy entering the trauma centre building of RG Kar at 3:34 am on August 9.
The CBI was handed over the case after the Calcutta High Court expressed dissatisfaction and pointed out several lapses in the investigation by the Kolkata Police.
