The report said Sanjay Roy appeared unnerved and anxious during the lie-detector test.

After the crime, according to the Kolkata police, Sanjay Roy had confessed to committing the rape and murder. However, recently, he made a U-turn, claiming he was being framed and was innocent.

What Sanjay Roy told jail guards

Sanjay Roy told the guards of the jail that he knew nothing about the rape and murder.

On Friday last week, he made similar claims before the additional chief judicial magistrate (ACJM) court in Sealdah, saying he consented to the test to prove his innocence.

The CBI and the police, however, found glaring inconsistencies in his claims of innocence. An officer told HT he had been trying to mislead investigators. The officer said he couldn't provide any explanation for the injuries to his face and his presence in the building at the time of the crime.

The woman had gone to the room to rest amid her graveyard shift.

The police saw Sanjay Roy entering the premises in the CCTV cameras at 4.03 am on August 9. They also found his Bluetooth headset at the crime scene.

The psychoanalytic profiling of Sanjay Roy revealed he was a “pervert and severely addicted to pornography”. He was also found to possess animal-like instincts.
