The polygraph test of Sanjay Roy, the sole individual arrested in connection with the rape and murder of a junior doctor at R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital, began on Sunday afternoon, according to sources. The test is being conducted at the Presidency Central Correctional Home in South Kolkata, where Roy has been held since a lower court remanded him to 14 days of judicial custody on August 23.
Roy, a civic volunteer, remains the only person apprehended in the case so far.
Simultaneously, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) continued conducting polygraph tests on six additional suspects at its Salt Lake office. This process, on Saturday afternoon, is ongoing due to the time-consuming nature of the tests, not conduct simultaneously for all suspects.

In related developments, the CBI has increased its presence during raids and search operations at Dr. Ghosh’s residence in Beliaghata. On Sunday morning, seven CBI officials, including women, began the raid. By early afternoon, six additional officials had joined the team.
