RG Kar Case: Court Rejects CBI's Plea For Narco Test Of Rape And Murder Accused Sanjay Roy

The Sealdah Court in Kolkata has denied the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) request to conduct a narco-analysis test on Sanjay Roy, the prime accused in the alleged rape and murder of a doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. This decision followed Roy's refusal to give consent for the test, according to news agency ANI.


At the court, the judge spoke to Sanjay Roy personally to ascertain whether he had any objection to it. On why the central agency wanted a narco analysis, a CBI officer told news agency PTI, "This is primarily to cross-check whether Roy is telling the truth. The narco-analysis test will help us to verify his version". During this test, the subject is administered sodium pentothal, which induces a hypnotic state, neutralising imagination and often leading the accused to reveal truthful information, the officer explained.


The CBI has already conducted a polygraph test on Roy at the Presidency Correctional Home, where he remains in custody.


In addition to these tests, the investigation saw CBI sleuths collect Roy’s dental impression on Thursday. According to officials, this could serve as crucial evidence, as bite marks were found on the victim's body, a fact mentioned in the post-mortem report. "Our idea is to match those with the accused's dental impression," the officer added, as per PTI.


Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer with Kolkata Police, is the only individual arrested in connection with the rape and murder case so far. The CBI took over the probe following a directive from the Calcutta High Court.
