Kolkata horror: Main accused Sanjay Roy demanding egg chowmein in jail, authorities respond

The main accused in the Kolkata rape and murder case, Sanjay Roy, is reportedly throwing tantrums over the meal served in jail. Roy is currently locked up in Presidency Correctional Home or Alipore Jail of Kolkata, where he has expressed anger over simple ‘roti-sabzi’ being served to him. He has demanded jail authorities provide him with egg chowmein.

Obviously, prisonauthorities haven’t met his demands citing rules that say all inmates must have the same food prepared in the jail kitchen. He was also reportedly severely reprimanded by the jail administration, after which he agreed to have roti-sabzi.

Earlier, when Roy was brought to the Alipore jail from Central Bureau of Investigation’s custody, he had urged the jail staff to have some sleep. He was also seen mumbling a few times initially. However, he is understood to have returned to his normal self.

Roy is accused of raping and killing a junior doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Hospital and college on August 9, a case that has triggered massive protests countrywide.

IMA vs Kolkata police

Meanwhile, the Indian Medical Association (IMA) has raised concerns over West Bengal police allowing a crowd of people to enter the seminar room of the hospital where the doctor’s dead body was found.

Kolkata police had claimed the crowd consisted of authorised people only and identified one Avik De as a fingerprint expert.

Now, IMA has directly disputed this claim, saying Avik De is a first-yearPost Graduate Trainee of the Surgery Department of SSKM Hospital.

“Please let us know when the great Dr Avik De became Finger Print Expert? (As stated by Kolkata Police). As we all know, he is a 1st year Post Graduate Trainee of Surgery Department of SSKM Hospital,” IMA wrote on X.

“We also know that there are lot of controversies regarding his getting admission in PG course. It is said that though Dr Avik De worked as RMO in Burdwan Medical College, but the then Principal of that College Dr Kaustav Nayek gave him a false Certificate mentioning that he worked in Anamoy Hospital, just to get him Service Quota for PG admission, manipulating all the official papers. And in return without declaring the result of the 1st interview or cancelling the same, Dr Kaustav Nayek was made DME through a 2nd interview, superseeding many other senior & eligible Principals,” the IMA statement added.

Earlier, the CBI had alleged that the crime scene was altered before the case was handed over to the central agency.
