CBI Rules Out Gang-Rape In Kolkata Horror, Sanjay Roy Lone Accused: Sources

Sources said the CBI's inquiry is in its "final stages" and that the federal agency will soon have enough material to file charges.

The Central Bureau of Investigation has ruled out gangrape in the death of a Kolkata doctor last month as the available evidence indicates only Sanjay Roy - arrested by the police - was involved in the horrific rape and murder at the city's RG Kar Hospital, sources told NDTV Friday morning.

Sources said the inquiry is in its "final stages" and that the agency - given the case by the Kolkata High Court, which overruled Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in doing so - will soon file charges.

The CBI is under pressure from a Chief Minister who, in turn, is taking fire from political rivals and civil society activists over the gruesome crime. Last week she demanded an update. "I asked for five days' (for the police to probe before she called in the federal agency) but the case was sent to CBI. They don't want justice. They want delay. It has been 16 days, where is justice?" she asked in Kolkata.
