After Sanjay Roy, the principal accused, claimed that he had been set up and that former Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal was involved in the case, West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Tuesday night requested a report from Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee about the rape and murder case at RG Kar hospital. Vineet Goyal has colluded against him throughout the proceedings, according to Sanjay Roy.
In a statement on X, Raj Bhavan Media Cell stated that Governor Bose has requested that the state government 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. “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,” the statement said.
As he was being removed from the Sealdah Court, Sanjay Roy, who is accused of raping and killing a junior physician at the RG Kar Medical College, yelled at the press that the former CP had plotted and set him up.
“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, the autopsy confirmed rape and murder in the body of a junior physician discovered inside the seminar hall of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The primary culprit in the case was Sanjoy Roy, a volunteer for the civic Kolkata Police. The Sealdah Court filed accusations against Roy over two months after his detention.
