A team of experts from Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL), Delhi reached Kolkata for a polygraph test that will be conducted today on former RG Kar Medical College principal Sandip Ghosh and others over alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor, sources said on Saturday.
Sources said that the polygraph test will be held on Sandip Ghosh, Sanjay Roy, the main accused, four doctors and one volunteer.
The test of the main accused will be held in jail while others have been called at the CBI office in Kolkata, sources added.
Earlier in the day, Kolkata police said that as per the order of the court, all documents about the alleged financial irregularities in RG Kar have been handed over to CBI by SIT.
Earlier on Friday, the Calcutta High Court transferred the investigation of financial irregularities involving Dr Sandip Ghosh, previously handled by a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to the CBI.
The Court has also granted permission to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to conduct a polygraph test on Dr Sandip Ghosh, and five others related to the incident.
The decision was made while hearing a petition filed by Akhtar Ali, the former deputy superintendent of the hospital, who accused Dr Ghosh of financial misconduct and unethical practices. The High Court assigned the CBI to investigate the matter, as it is also handling the investigation into the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at the hospital.
The Court has granted the CBI three weeks to submit a progress report on the investigation, which is to be presented on September 17.
In a separate development, the Sealdah Court on Friday remanded Sanjay Roy, the main accused in the rape and murder case of the postgraduate trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, to 14 days of judicial custody.
His custody will continue until September 6, 2024, under the supervision of the CBI.
The trainee doctor was found dead in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on August 9.
