Kolkata: The Central Bureau of Investigation’s next progress report on the R.G.

The body of the victim was recovered from a seminar room within the premises of state-run R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital in North Kolkata on the morning of August 9, 2024, and later it was proved that she was raped and murdered on the intervening night of August 8 and August 9.

CBI Focuses on Four Doctors Who Last Saw Victim Alive

Sources aware of the development said that the new Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the CBI is giving special emphasis to the statements given by these four colleagues of the victim, since they were among the last five people to see the victim alive, the fifth one being, of course, the sole convict in the case so far, Sanjay Roy.

Sources said that members of the new SIT are also cross-examining whether the statements given by the four colleagues of the victim are in sync with what they stated during their interrogation by members of the previous SIT of the CBI or if there are variations in their statements.

Four Doctors Were on Night Duty With Victim

Sources said that these four colleagues have informed the new SIT members that on the night of August 8, 2024, all four of them, as well as the victim, were on night duty at the chest OPD of R.G. Kar.

They also claimed that all of them had dinner together at around 10:30 p.m. and ate the food ordered by the victim through a food delivery app. They also informed the CBI that they were together till after midnight watching the Olympic Games.

As per their versions, after watching the games, the victim had fallen asleep on a mattress in the same room where they had dinner.

Two others went to the study room; one went to the rooms allotted to the medical interns and another one went to the ward for his night duty.

Doctor Who Found Body Was on Night Duty

The doctor who went to the ward for night duty was the one to spot the victim’s body at 9:30 a.m. on August 9.

The CBI’s next progress report is expected to detail the findings based on the statements of the four doctors and the agency’s examination of their accounts in the ongoing investigation.
