RG Kar rape-murder accused Sanjay Roy claims he was 'framed' by ex-Kolkata police commissioner Vineet Goyal
Kolkata Doctor Rape-Murder: Main accused Sanjay Roy
Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College rape-murder prime accused Sanjay Roy, in a dramatic turn of events, has claimed he was falsely implicated. Roy, who was charged in court last week, accused former Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal of orchestrating a conspiracy against him, alleging that senior officers were involved and had threatened him.
Roy, a civic volunteer, was arrested in August of this year for the heinous crime. On August 9, a postgraduate trainee doctor was found brutally raped and murdered on the premises of Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, located in the capital of West Bengal.

Framed?
Shouting from a police van after a court hearing on Monday (Nov 11), Roy told reporters that the former Commissioner framed him in the case and that other high-ranking officials were also linked to the matter.
“I am telling you it was Vineet Goyal who conspired the whole thing (rape and murder of RG Kar Medical College resident doctor) and framed me…They had threatened me and there were other big officers in it,” Roy alleged.
