In a new turn of events in the mysterious death of a 31-year-old doctor in a brutal rape and murder in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, Kolkata, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has thought it fit to administer lie-detection tests on four of the doctor’s colleagues.
CBI sources reveal that these individuals’ statements, including two first-year postgraduate trainees, a house surgeon, and an intern, contradict each other. The agency says that it does not think that these doctors were involved in the commission of the crime, though they will want to know whether the doctors in some way interfered with the evidence or whether they were part of the conspiracy.
The CBI has said that it is trying to link four of these doctors to the crime and has claimed that fingerprints of two of these four have been recovered from the third-floor seminar room where the body was found. Also, CCTV footage was produced showing the house surgeon walking from the first floor to the third floor at that late hour while the intern testified that he was on the same floor and had spoken to the victim.
The CBI has now got the necessary sanction from a special court to take polygraph tests of the four doctors, including the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital whom a lot of people blamed for the mishandling of the case. They hunt down the series of incidents that caused the untimely death of the young doctor in a cinema.
