Kolkata doctor rape-murder: Ex-RG Kar head Sandip Ghosh's polygraph responses are 'deceptive', says CBI
Kolkata: The polygraph responses of Sandip Ghosh, the arrested former principal of Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital where a 31-year-old trainee doctor was raped and murdered last week, are "deceptive", said the Central Bureau of Investigation, media reports said.
The CBI has alleged, as quoted by Hindustan Times, "He did not try to get an FIR lodged immediately. Rather a new theory of suicide was introduced which is not possible as per external injury visible on the body of the victim that was undressed at the lower part."
Ghosh and a station house officer (SHO) of Tala PS in Kolkata were arrested on Saturday by the CBI on charges of tampering of evidence in the rape and murder of a trainee doctor on Aug 9. The crime sparked an unprecedented people's protest in Kolkata and the rest of the country.
While Ghosh was in custody, the Officer-in-Charge of Tala Police Station, Abhijit Mondal, has been arrested in connection with RG Kar murder-rape case.
He is accused of misleading the investigation, tampering with evidence and place of occurrence (PO), lodging delayed FIR and not taking adequate steps regarding the probe, a CBI official told IBNS.
Mondal was officiating as the officer-in-charge of Tala police station during the occurrence of the gruesome rape and murder.
Ex-principal Sandeep Ghosh, who has already been arrested in connection with corruption case, has now been arrested in the rape-murder case.
The junior doctors, who have been on ceasework for 35 days demanding justice for the victim, said, "The arrests prove that our five-point demands (including action on certain police and health officials) were justified."
The arrests came amid a dramatic turn of events, after the talks between Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the protesting junior doctors failed to take place at the residence of the CM this evening. The delegation was told that the proposed meeting had been timed out owing to their delay in arriving at a decision on live-streaming.
