On Tuesday evening, West Bengal Governor C.V. Ananda Bose asked for a report from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee regarding the rape and murder case at RG Kar Hospital. This request followed allegations from the main accused, Sanjay Roy, who claimed he was falsely implicated and accused former Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal of orchestrating the case against him.
In a statement on X, Raj Bhavan Media Cell stated that Governor Bose had asked the state government to investigate the situation and promptly notify him of the facts and the state government's stance on the accusations. “RG Kar rape and murder: Revelations against Vineet Goyal Police Commissioner. Guv asks for an immediate report from CM Mamata Banerjee.” Raj Bhavan said in the X post.
The statement further read, “In the light of disturbing news carried by the media on November 12, 2024, in connection with the RG Kar alleged rape and murder case, where the key accused Sanjay Roy, after the proceedings in the Sealdah Court on November 11, 2024, has reportedly alleged that 'he was framed by senior police officers, including former Kolkata police commissioner Vineet Goyal', HG has urged the state government to look into the matter and inform him the factual position and the state government's stand on the allegations at the earliest.”
While being taken from Sealdah Court, Sanjay Roy, accused of raping and murdering a junior doctor at RG Kar Medical College, shouted to reporters, claiming that the former Commissioner of Police had conspired and framed him. “I am telling you it was Vineet Goyal (former Kolkata Police Commissioner) who conspired the whole thing (rape and murder of RG Kar Medical College resident doctor) and framed me...They had threatened me and there were other big officers in it,” he said to the reporters.
On August 9, a junior physician's body was discovered inside the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital's seminar hall. An autopsy ruled out rape and murder. As the primary culprit in the case, Sanjoy Roy, a volunteer for the civic Kolkata Police, was taken into custody. Roy was charged by the Sealdah Court about two months after his detention.
