RG Kar Medico Death Case: Broken door bolt of seminar hall under CBI scanner

The investigating officers wondered why nobody could hear any sound from inside the seminar hall when the victim was being tortured.

Initial findings indicate that the door, due to the broken tower bolt, had been malfunctioning for some time. The victim entered the hall between 2 AM and 3 AM on August 9. A doctor on duty reported seeing her asleep inside the hall, the officer said.

“Interviews with doctors, interns, and junior doctors revealed that the door’s malfunction had been a known issue, which prevented the victim from locking the door that night,” he added.

On Friday, the CBI continued its interrogation of Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, in connection with the case. The agency also presented the arrested suspect, Sanjay Roy, in court, where he was remanded to 14 days of jail custody.

The body of the postgraduate trainee doctor was discovered inside the seminar hall on August 9. A civic volunteer was arrested the following day in connection with the crime.

The CBI took over the probe from Kolkata Police following a Calcutta High Court order on August 13.
