Civic Volunteer Sanjoy Roy to Plead 'Not Guilty'

Sanjoy Roy, a civic volunteer who was arrested on August 10, is expected to plead ‘not guilty’ in court, according to his lawyer, Kavita Sarkar. Roy’s arrest came after the body of a PG trainee doctor was discovered in a seminar hall at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

Roy recently underwent a polygraph test, also known as a lie-detector test, conducted by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
