The CFSL report in the Kolkata RG Kar case has revealed that the seminar room, where the body of a junior doctor was found on August 9, 2023, may not be the actual crime scene, as no evidence of scuffle, assault, or a crime was found there. This contradicts initial reports suggesting she was raped and murdered in the room, raising questions about the investigations by the Kolkata Police and later the CBI. The case, involving accused civic volunteer Sanjay Roy, also saw the resignation of hospital principal Ghosh amidst allegations of delays and financial irregularities, leaving critical aspects of the incident unresolved.

WEST BENGAL: The developments in the Kolkata RG Kar case have left everyone shocked. According to the findings of the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) report, the seminar room where the body of a junior doctor was discovered may not have been the actual crime scene.
This raises critical questions about the investigation process.
The Incident and Initial Reports
On August 9, 2023, the body of a female junior doctor was found in the seminar room located on the fourth floor of the hospital. Early reports suggested she was raped and murdered in the seminar room.
However, the CFSL report, submitted recently to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), has refuted this claim. The report indicates no evidence of rape or murder in the seminar room.
Key Findings of the CFSL Report
The CFSL report states:
“No signs of scuffle or assault between the deceased and the attacker were found in the seminar room.”
“The blue mattress in the seminar room showed no signs of a struggle or any indication of a crime.”
These findings question whether the seminar room was indeed the location where the horrific crime occurred.
Investigation Under Scrutiny
The case has raised concerns about the efficiency and accuracy of the investigations conducted by both the Special Investigation Team (SIT) of the Kolkata Police and later the CBI.
Initially, it was believed and reported that the victim was raped and murdered in the seminar room itself.
The CFSL report now contradicts these claims, leaving a critical gap in the investigation.
A Timeline of Events
- On August 10, 2023, the RG Kar Hospital came under media scrutiny after the body of the junior doctor was found in the chest department auditorium.
- Allegations surfaced that a civic volunteer, Sanjay Roy, was responsible for the rape and murder in the intervening night of August 9-10.
- The then-principal of the state-run institute, Ghosh, faced criticism for alleged delays in the probe. Following the incident, Ghosh resigned from his position on August 12.
- Adding to the complexity, the Calcutta High Court later ordered an investigation into alleged financial irregularities during Ghosh’s tenure at the hospital.
Unanswered Questions
The CFSL report has left several questions unanswered:
- If the seminar room is not the crime scene, where did the crime take place?
- Why did earlier investigations point to the seminar room as the location of the crime?
- How did the civic volunteer become the primary accused, and on what evidence?
The findings from the CFSL report demand a thorough re-examination of the case. The discrepancies between the initial reports and forensic findings highlight the need for transparency and accountability in the ongoing investigation.
