The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday questioned five people, including three forensic doctors, in the rape and murder case of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in West Bengal. These doctors had conducted the post-mortem of the 31-year-old trainee doctor. Meanwhile, the police have arrested nine people in connection with the vandalism carried out by miscreants at the medical college late on Wednesday night.
According to CBI sources, former superintendent of RG Kar Hospital Sanjay Vashisht and Dr Arunava Dutta Chowdhury of the Chest Medicine Department appeared at the CBI office after receiving summons. Three forensic doctors who conducted the post-mortem, Reena Das, Mouli Banerjee and Apurba Biswas, were also summoned to the CGO Complex and questioned for over four hours, officials said.
The preliminary investigation was conducted by three other doctors – Ratna Debnath, Diyasini Roy and Antia Barman – in the presence of a magistrate. However, a senior doctor at the hospital said the post-mortem report was yet to be made public. It would be placed before the Calcutta High Court, which ordered a CBI probe midway through the police investigation. Sanjoy Roy (31), who worked for the Kolkata police, was arrested as the prime suspect on August 10.
