In a new development in the RG Kar Case, The Central Bureau of Investigation has ruled out gang rape in the death of a 31-year-old Kolkata doctor. Sanjoy Roy, a contractual staff who worked with the Kolkata Police, raped and murdered the doctor, the probe agency said in its charge sheet today.
The central agency will later submit the charge sheet to the Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate’s court at Sealdah. The trainee doctor was found dead at the hospital on August 9, and subsequent investigations revealed the ordeal she had gone through. The court had asked the CBI to take over the probe amid nationwide protests.

Meanwhile, Junior doctors protesting are on a fast unto death. Six people are on a hunger strike and this will continue for an “indefinite period (till) we get justice”, protesting doctors were quoted saying by NDTV.
This week, they will be joined by colleagues from Delhi’s All India Institute of Medical Sciences, who will hold a candlelight protest at the city’s JLN Auditorium on Wednesday evening.
