Police honked car horns outside court to prevent reporters from hearing defendant – ThePrint – PTIFeed

Kolkata, Nov 18 (PTI) The Kolkata Police, who honked the horn of the prison vehicle and slapped his body on Monday, produced rape-murder accused Sanjay Roy in the Sealdah court at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on Monday to prevent journalists from hearing his voice. .

Roy had made some statements against former Kolkata police commissioner Vineet Goyal and claimed his innocence while being taken out of the prison van before being produced in the Sealdah court on November 11, the opening day of the trial.

Eyewitnesses said police repeatedly honked the car’s horn and slapped Roy’s body to prevent him from speaking as he was being taken to the courthouse on Monday. Police also replaced the van with a smaller van to transport Roy to prevent further disruption from last Tuesday.

Monday was the fifth day Roy appeared in court as part of the ongoing trial, which is heard daily.

Nine witnesses have deposed so far in the case presided over by Additional District and Sessions Judge Anirban Das.

The CBI is investigating the case on the orders of the Calcutta High Court.

The body of the on-duty doctor working at RG Kar Medical Faculty and Hospital was found in the seminar room of the facility on August 9. This crime sparked outrage across the country and led to protracted protests by junior doctors in Calcutta. justice for the victim. PTI AMR MNB
