Kolkata rape-murder case: CBI finds police officer, former principal's links in evidence tampering

Fourteen hours after the doctor's body was discovered, the formal complaint in the trainee doctor's rape and murder case was submitted.

The RG Kar administration, which was headed by Ghosh at the time of the incident, was questioned by both courts for the delay and for refusing to make a police complaint at the earliest.

In the course of its month-long investigation, the CBI has made its first arrests in the rape and murder case.

Sanjoy Roy, a volunteer for the community, was first detained by the Kolkata Police and then taken into the custody of the CBI after the Calcutta High Court handed the inquiry to the central agency.

On Aug 9, the semi-clad body of the 31-year-old trainee doctor was discovered in the seminar hall at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital of Kolkata.

A day after the incident, police detained Sanjay Roy, the main accused. In CCTV footage, Roy was seen entering the building at the approximate time of the incident, and his Bluetooth headphones were discovered close to the scene.

According to the investigation, Roy killed the doctor by suffocating her after seriously injuring and sexually abusing her. A week after the horrific tragedy, the Calcutta High Court gave the CBI control of the investigation in the wake of massive protests and public outrage.
