Crime Scene Mishandling in RG Kar Rape and Murder Case: A Forensic Blunder

Kolkata, West Bengal: A shocking revelation has emerged from the CFSL’s forensic report on the tragic rape and murder of a junior doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The 12-page report, submitted as part of the chargesheet, reveals that crucial evidence at the crime scene was compromised due to improper handling, potentially hampering the integrity of the investigation.

The crime, which took place on August 9, saw the brutal assault and murder of a young female doctor, sparking nationwide outrage and protests by medical professionals in West Bengal. The victim was discovered in a seminar room at the hospital, triggering a massive public outcry for better safety for healthcare workers.

The CFSL's forensic analysis has drawn attention to clear signs of mishandling, indicating that the crime scene was disturbed before forensic experts could fully investigate. These lapses have raised serious concerns among experts, as even minor disturbances can result in the loss of vital evidence necessary to bring the perpetrators to justice.

Sanjoy Roy, a civic volunteer with the Kolkata Police, was arrested the following day, becoming the prime suspect. Roy's proximity to the hospital and role within the police system raised questions about the adequacy of security measures at RG Kar.

The report, submitted as part of the CBI chargesheet, emphasizes the severe impact of these errors on the investigation, calling into question the overall crime scene management. In the aftermath of this tragedy, medical professionals have called for enhanced security in healthcare facilities, particularly to protect women working late hours.

As the CBI continues its investigation, the medical community and the public demand justice for the victim and accountability for both the horrific crime and the failure to properly manage evidence.
