Sanjay Roy, the accused in the harrowing rape and murder case involving a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, is under intensified scrutiny after CCTV footage established his presence near the victim before the crime.

According to sources reported by CNN-News18, the CCTV footage shows that the accused Sanjay Roy, a 33-year-old civic volunteer with hospital access, was observing the victim just hours before the crime. In the CCTV footage, Sanjay Roy was also caught glaring at them.

As per the report, Sanjay Roy confessed during interrogation that he had observed the 31-year-old victim in the chest medicine ward on August 8, the day before the attack. CCTV footage supports this claim,

Meanwhile, CBI sources describe Roy as a “sexual pervert” with “animal-like instincts” and report that he showed no remorse during questioning.

Supreme Court sets up National Task Force

The Supreme Court took suo motu cognizance of the matter and constituted a National Task Force to recommend guidelines to ensure the safety of medical professionals. A CBI investigation into the matter is underway.

Following an appeal from the Supreme Court, health professionals at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Delhi, have ended their 11-day strike and resumed their duties as of Thursday.

The Resident Doctors Association (RDA) announced the decision in a statement: “In the interest of the nation and public service, the RDA, AIIMS, New Delhi, has decided to end the 11-day strike. This decision follows the Supreme Court's appeal and direction. We sincerely thank the Supreme Court for addressing the RG Kar Medical College incident and the broader safety and security issue for healthcare workers nationwide.”

Earlier, the Supreme Court, while hearing the Kolkata doctor rape and murder case, instructed health professionals to return to work and assured them that no adverse action would be taken against them once they resumed their duties.
