CISF Jawan at RG Kar Arrested Over Alleged Repeated Rape and Blackmail
Forensic tests on seized hotel bedding and the officer’s uniform are under way to support an investigation that is prompting renewed scrutiny of hospital security after a 2023 attack.
Overview
- A woman who met the security guard during visits to RG Kar Medical College says he lured her with a promise of marriage, raped her at a Chinar Park hotel, recorded the assault and then used the video to threaten and force further assaults.
- Bidhannagar/Narayanpur police registered an FIR after the woman filed a written complaint, arrested the accused and produced him in court where he was remanded to police custody.
- Investigators have seized hotel bedsheets and the accused’s CISF uniform and sent those items for forensic testing while the survivor has undergone medical examination and her statement has been recorded.
- Police say they informed CISF about the arrest and some media reports cite a departmental dismissal, but official CISF confirmation and the results of forensic and medico-legal tests are still pending.
- The case revives concerns about oversight and trust inside RG Kar, where the Supreme Court ordered CISF deployment after a 2023 rape‑murder, and raises the prospect of departmental reviews and renewed security checks at the hospital.
