Sanjay Roy, the man arrested for the rape and murder of a female postgraduate trainee doctor at Kolkata's state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, has had several failed marriages. Police also found pornographic content on Roy's mobile phone, which had easy access to various departments at the hospital due to his role as a citizen volunteer on the Police Welfare Board.
Working as a Citizen Volunteer, annual salary is Rs 12,000
Citizen volunteers are contract workers who are recruited to assist police in a variety of tasks, including traffic management and disaster response. Their monthly salary is about Rs 12,000.
according to a new delhi tv According to reports, Roy joined the disaster management team of the Kolkata Police as a volunteer in 2019, but was later transferred to the police welfare team. He then moved to the police post of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital and had access to all departments.
Fraudster who took bribes from patients to secure admission
Roy was reportedly involved in a scam in which the hospital charged admission fees to patients' families. If a patient's relatives cannot find a bed in a government hospital, he will also charge them to find a bed in a nearby nursing home.
Impersonating a police officer and showing no remorse for his actions
Even though Roy was no ordinary cop, he would introduce himself as Kolkata Police and walk around wearing a T-shirt with KP (Kolkata Police) on it. His bike also bears the KP tag. He often used his connections to stay at the police station. Many other citizen volunteers believed he was actually a police officer, the report said.
Roy quickly confessed to the crime during interrogation. He reportedly showed no remorse and said: “Hang me if you want.”
On Friday, the half-naked body of a female PGT doctor, a second-year student in the thoracic department, was found in the seminar hall of the hospital. She was on duty Thursday night and suffered multiple injuries. Her father claimed she was raped and murdered inside the hospital after a preliminary autopsy report revealed she had been sexually abused before her murder.
Roy was arrested after his activities were found to be highly suspicious. Sources said Roy had a history of inappropriate behavior with women at the hospital.
