Kolkata India Murder and Rape Case Investigations Dr Moumita Debnath live UPDATES
Top points on Kolkata rape-and-murder case:
- After severely hurting and sexually assaulting the doctor, the accused, Sanjoy Roy, killed her by throttling and smothering her. The murder took between 3am and 5am on Friday, the probe indicated.
- Sanjoy Roy was allegedly addicted to pornography and his mobile phone had several such contents, police said.
- The 33-year-old accused, who had joined the Kolkata Police as a civic volunteer in 2019, was married at least four times and known as a “womaniser”, the police added.
- “The pornography content in his mobile phone was quite disturbing and violent. We wonder about the state of his mind as watching such things is quite unnatural,” PTI quoted a police officer as saying.
- During the investigation, it was found that he had a history of physically abusing his wives, he added.
- Sanjoy Roy’s neighbours said his first wife was from Behala, while the second wife was from Park Circus. “He got married for the third time to a girl from Barrackpore. But that also did not last long. Then he married a girl from the city’s Alipore area.” a neighbour said.
. Sanjoy Roy, who is a trained boxer, got close to a few senior police officers over the years, following which he was moved to the Kolkata Police Welfare Board and posted to the police outpost at the state- run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital where the incident happened.
His mother Malati Roy, however, rubbished the allegations, claiming that her son was “innocent”.
