Kolkata was rocked by another tragedy on Tuesday as police discovered the body of Sanjay Roy's niece hanging at her residence in the city's northern precincts. The incident comes as a devastating postscript to the horrific 2005 R.G. Kar Medical College rape and murder case that continues to haunt the city.
Family Tragedy Deepens
The deceased, whose identity is being protected, was found hanging in her home in the early hours. Local authorities have initiated a thorough investigation into what appears to be a case of suicide, though no suicide note has been recovered from the scene.
Connection to Infamous Case
Sanjay Roy, the uncle of the deceased, is currently serving a life sentence for his involvement in the brutal 2005 rape and murder case that occurred within the premises of R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital. The case had sent shockwaves through the medical community and raised serious questions about security in healthcare institutions.
Police Investigation Underway
Law enforcement officials have cordoned off the area and are conducting preliminary inquiries. "We are investigating all angles and speaking to family members to understand the circumstances leading to this tragic incident," stated a senior police officer from the local precinct.
The police are particularly focused on determining whether there was any connection between the woman's death and the ongoing legal proceedings involving her convicted uncle. Forensic teams have been deployed to gather evidence from the residence.
Community in Shock
Neighbors and local residents expressed shock and sorrow over the incident, describing the family as having endured significant social stigma following Roy's conviction. The double tragedy has left the community grappling with questions about the long-term impact of criminal cases on families of the convicted.
As investigations continue, the city awaits answers in this heartbreaking development that adds another chapter to one of Kolkata's most notorious criminal cases.
