Kolkata: Sanjay Roy, the accused in the Kolkata rape and murder case, currently lodged at Presidency Correctional Home, has reportedly expressed dissatisfaction with the meals provided in prison. Upset with the standard “roti-sabzi” meal served to him, Roy demanded egg chowmein instead. However, prison regulations require that all inmates receive the same meals prepared for the general prison population, so his request for egg chowmein was denied.
Sources from the correctional home said that Roy initially reacted angrily when served roti and vegetables but eventually agreed to eat after being reprimanded by the prison staff. Earlier, after his transfer from CBI custody to Presidency Correctional Home, Roy had requested some sleep and was observed mumbling at times. However, he appears to have settled into the routine after a few days.
CBI grills ex-RG Kar principal for 14th day
In the meantime, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) continues its probe into the RG Kar Hospital rape and murder case. On Friday, the CBI questioned Sandeep Ghosh, the former principal of Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College, for the 14th consecutive day.
Ghosh has now been interrogated for more than 140 hours in connection with the case involving the rape and murder of the trainee doctor. Apart from the murder investigation, Ghosh is also being probed for a financial scam at the hospital. The CBI has already filed an FIR against him and other related institutions and officials conducted a search of Ghosh’s residence last Sunday.
Kolkata rape-murder
The horrific rape and murder of the junior doctor, whose body was found with severe injuries inside the seminar hall of the hospital’s chest department on August 9, has sparked protests across the country. Sanjay Roy was arrested on August 10, the day following the incident. Subsequently, on August 13, the Calcutta High Court, dissatisfied with state police’s actions, ordered the transfer of the investigation from Kolkata Police to the CBI, which began its probe on August 14.
