A Kolkata court on Friday sent Sanjoy Roy, accused of raping and killing a trainee doctor at RG Kar Hospital, to 14 days in judicial custody. The accused was brought to Sealdah Civil and Criminal Court under heavy police security after his CBI custody ended on Friday.

Separately, a special court in Kolkata allowed the CBI to conduct a polygraph test on Sanjoy Roy. A polygraph test is not admissible in court and is usually conducted to guide investigators in their probe.

Roy, a civic volunteer with Kolkata Police stationed at the outpost at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, was arrested a day after the semi-naked body of the 31-year-old doctor was found on August 9.

He was arrested on the basis of CCTV footage that showed him entering the emergency building of the hospital where the doctor was found murdered.

Roy had a history of domestic abuse and was known to frequent the hospital.
