KOLKATA: CBI on Saturday conducted a Lie detector test about Sandip Ghosh, former Rector of R.G.

The agency will conduct the test on six other people, including the main suspect Sandra Royfour doctors and a volunteer in the next few days, report Rohit Khanna and Dwaipayan Ghosh.
A team of experts from New Delhi arrived in Kolkata in the morning to conduct the test, also known as a lie detector test, after obtaining court approval on Friday. A volunteer who had accompanied Roy to two parts of the city before the alleged crime said the CBI had summoned him for the lie detector test.

When I informed him about the crime, he seemed calm and happy. At around 2.30 pm, he started drinking alcohol,” the volunteer said.
A CBI team visited Roy in the Presidency Jail. “The entire process was explained to him in the presence of a judge,” said his lawyer Sourav Bandyopadhyay of the Legal Aid Defence Counsel System (South 24 Parganas).
CBI officials said the test was aimed at verifying Ghosh’s statements about the events of August 8 and 9. The CBI also questioned ASI Anup Datta, who is said to be close to Roy.
