  • RG Kar Rape-Murder Case: Court Rejects CBI’s Plea For Narco Test Of Sanjay Roy |

    In a setback for the Central Bureau of Investigation in the RG Kar Medical College rape-murder case of a trainee doctor, the Sealdah Court in Kolkata has rejected the probe agency’s plea for the accused Sajay Roy’s narco-analysis test. The accused had earlier refused to give consent for Narco analysis test. Earlier, the CBI has conducted a polygraph test on Roy and several others involved in the case.

    In 2010, the Supreme Court had ruled that narco-analysis tests cannot be performed without the accused’s consent. While narco-analysis holds legal validity, courts may allow its limited admissibility, depending on the specific conditions under which the test was carried out.

    What is Narco Test?

    A narco test, or narcoanalysis, is an investigative technique used to gather information from an individual by administering a drug that induces a hypnotic or semi-conscious state. Sodium pentothal, commonly referred to as “truth serum,” is the drug typically employed in this process. This drug reduces a person’s self-awareness, enabling them to speak more openly and without restraint, which helps investigators gather more truthful responses.

    What Is The Case?

    The incident in question involves the alleged rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9. The following day, Kolkata Police arrested Roy, identifying him as the prime suspect. Roy has maintained his innocence, asserting that he is being framed. On August 23, the Calcutta High Court transferred the investigation to the CBI.

    Sanjay Roy is currently being held at the Presidency Jail in Kolkata. Last week, a Kolkata court denied his bail request and extended his judicial custody until September 20. On Thursday, the CBI obtained dental impressions and saliva samples from Sanjoy Roy. These samples will be compared to the bite marks discovered on the trainee doctor’s body to help determine his potential involvement in the crime.

  • CBI Arrests Ex-RG Kar Principal Sandeep Ghosh In Graft Case |

    The Central Bureau of Investigation today arrested the former Principal of RG Kar Medical College Sandeep Ghosh in an alleged corruption case related to the medical college. While Ghosh was subjected to a polygraph test as well in the rape and murder of a trainee doctor of the RG Kar Medical College, the CBI is yet to find concrete evidence in the case. The trainee doctor was found dead in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on August 9. Ghosh was transferred to another college after an uproar over the case.

    The hospital’s former deputy superintendent Dr Akhtar Ali had lodged complaints of financial irregularities on multiple counts at the establishment during Ghosh’s tenure as principal.

    Sandeep Ghosh was accused of mishandling the rape-murder case and not registering the case even hours after the dead body was found. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has conducted lie detector tests on Ghosh and others as part of their investigation into the rape and murder of a female medical student at the institute. The CBI has also registered a case concerning alleged financial irregularities at the facility.

    The medical college gained significant media attention following the alleged rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor in a seminar hall on August 9, leading to the arrest of a civic volunteer, Sanjay Roy.

    On August 29, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) suspended the membership of Dr. Sandip Ghosh amid an ongoing CBI investigation.

    The rape-murder case was transferred to the CBI after an order from the Kolkata High Court. The Calcutta High Court has granted the CBI three weeks to submit a progress report on the investigation, which is to be presented on September 17.

    Meanwhile, junior doctors from various medical colleges in Kolkata staged a rally on Monday, marching toward the Kolkata Police headquarters at Lalbazar. They demanded the resignation of Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal, accusing him of inaction in preventing the vandalism at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 14. The rally was halted by police at guardrails on BB Ganguly Street, short of reaching Lalbazar. The doctors insisted that their protest was peaceful and requested a meeting with the police commissioner. Despite being stopped, they called for the rally to proceed closer to the headquarters and eventually sat on the street, chanting slogans in protest.

  • Kolkata Rape-Murder Case: CBI Raids Dr Sandip Ghosh’s Residence Over RG Kar Hospital Scam |

  • Arvind Kejriwal Arrest: Court’s Custody Order Includes A Word Of Caution For CBI | TOP DEVELOPMENTS |

    New Delhi: The trial court in Delhi ordered 3-day custody of Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) following his arrest by the agency in connection with the Delhi excise policy case. Special Judge Amitabh Rawat explained that Kejriwal’s custody was necessary due to the investigation’s findings, his alleged role, and the need to confront him with the evidence. He also cautioned the agency against being “overzealous.” 

    The court declined to declare the arrest illegal, stating that while the timing of the action might be “circumspect,” it cannot be the sole reason to deem the arrest unlawful.


    The judge stated that investigating is the CBI’s prerogative, but the law includes certain safeguards. He based his decision on the evidence presented and determined that the arrest could not be considered illegal at this point in the case. However, the judge warned the agency not to be overly zealous. 


    The judge directed the authorities to conduct a medical examination of Kejriwal and permit him to meet with his wife and lawyer every day for 30 minutes. As per reports, the Delhi CM is allowed to keep ‘Bhagwadgeeta’ with him. Home-cooked food is also allowed during the remand period, the court said.


    The CBI’s move followed the Delhi High Court’s decision to stay the bail granted to the AAP chief by the Rouse Avenue court a few days earlier.



    According to the CBI, Kejriwal allegedly requested monetary contributions to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) from Magunta Srinivasulu Reddy, who was then a YSRCP Lok Sabha MP, in exchange for support for the liquor business in the national capital.


    The CBI identified him as one of the primary conspirators involved in the irregularities associated with the now-cancelled excise policy of 2021-22.


    The agency also alleged that AAP received Rs 100 crore as kickbacks and funneled Rs 44.45 crore for the Goa election campaign.


    According to ANI, during the hearing Kejriwal told court, “They are tarnishing our image in the media by using unnamed sources. Their plan is to make it headline news that Kejriwal has shifted all the blame to Manish Sisodia.” He denied that he ever gave any statement against Manish Shishodia. Delhi CM added, “Manish Sisodia is innocent, Aam Aadmi Party is innocent. I am also innocent.”


    In response to Kejriwal’s accusation, the CBI stated that no source had made such claims. The agency’s lawyer clarified that he was presenting arguments based on factual evidence.


    In response to the Chief Minister’s arrest, Arvind Kejriwal’s wife, Sunita Kejriwal, criticized the Centre, claiming that the entire ‘system’ is working to keep her husband in jail. She stated that this is unlawful and likened it to ‘dictatorship’ and ‘Emergency’.


    On June 20, the trial judge approved bail for Kejriwal in the money laundering case. The following day, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) filed an urgent petition with the High Court challenging the bail decision. After extensive arguments from both parties, the High Court reserved its decision on the ED’s request to suspend the bail order, thereby delaying Kejriwal’s release until the court’s ruling.
