On Thursday, the Calcutta High Court in Kolkata, West Bengal, India, permitted the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to reinterrogate Sanjoy Roy, the only convict in the RG Kar rape and murder case. The division bench, consisting of Justice Rajasekhar Mantha and Justice Rai Chattopadhyay, emphasized that Roy might possess more information pertinent to the investigation. The court instructed the CBI to review additional affidavits submitted by the victim's parents, which suggest that crucial aspects of the case were not thoroughly examined by previous investigations. The next hearing is set for May 12, 2025, when the CBI will present its findings. The victim, a postgraduate trainee doctor, was tragically raped and murdered on August 9, 2024, leading to Roy's arrest the following day. The CBI took over the investigation from the West Bengal Police, and Roy was sentenced to life imprisonment on January 20, 2025. However, the victim's family continues to allege that Roy was not acting alone, prompting ongoing scrutiny of the investigation.
