Till now, the CBI probe found no one else involved in the case other than Sanjoy Roy, making him the sole accused. Meanwhile, the victim’s parents have alleged that it was a gang-rape, claiming multiple people in from the hospital were involved.
The mother-in-law of the accused said Sanjoy Roy was not a good person, and he used to hit his wife. She also alleged that Roy thrashed her daughter and caused a miscarriage.
Protest against the West Bengal government escalated on Monday after Kolkata Police intensified its crackdown on social media misinformation, and arrested a person for disclosing the identity of the victim and threatening chief minister Mamata Banerjee.
Senior doctors Kunal Sarkar and Subarna Goswami, who had posted about the incident on social media, appeared before police after leading a march of hundreds of healthcare professionals from Calcutta Medical College.
