Overview
- The parents filed a fresh petition on February 17 at the Sealdah trial court, which accepted it and set a hearing in the coming days.
- The plea seeks custodial interrogation of all who were with the doctor during the night shift and the arrest of ASI Anup Dutta, who, according to reports, met Sanjay Roy after the crime and housed him in a Salt Lake barrack where Roy was later arrested.
- The CBI has questioned Dutta multiple times but has not named him a suspect, while maintaining that a polygraph indicated only Roy’s involvement.
- The parents ask the court to review the roles of Kolkata Police and the CBI, raise concerns about possible political influence, and allege the central agency neglected independent lines of inquiry.
- Parallel proceedings continue at the Calcutta High Court as public protests by junior doctors keep attention on the case, with Roy serving a life sentence after conviction.
