The test took place at Kolkata’s Presidency Jail, where Roy is currently being held, the officer said.

The CBI has requested permission from a local court in Kolkata to administer lie-detector tests on seven individuals, including Roy and the former RGKMCH principal. While the result of these tests cannot be used as evidence during trial findings give the agency a direction for the further probe.

A team of polygraph specialists from the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) in Delhi, who were flown to Kolkata, conducted the tests.

Roy, a 33-year-old civic volunteer with the Kolkata Police, was arrested on August 10, a day after the body of the 31-year-old female medic was discovered in the seminar hall of the medical college.
