Upset with the basic “roti-sabzi” meal, Sanjay Roy demanded to be served egg chowmein instead, News18 reported citing unnamed sourced.

The sources from the prison told news portal that that Sanjay Roy became agitated when served the standard roti and vegetables, but after being reprimanded by the jail staff, he eventually agreed to eat the meal.

Earlier, upon his transfer from CBI custody to the correctional home, Sanjay Roy had requested extra time to sleep and was noted to be muttering to himself. However, after a few days, he seemed to return to his normal state, News18 added.

So far, the investigation into the rape-murder of the Kolkata doctor has resulted in only one arrest, that of Kolkata Police civic volunteer Sanjoy Roy, who currently remains in judicial custody.
