RG Kar case convict Sanjay Roy niece's murder case filed against his sister and her husband

In the quiet lanes of Alipore's Vidyasagar Colony, on 21st October, the lifeless body of an 11-year-old minor girl dangled from a rod inside a cupboard was found. The 11-year-old girl, niece to Sanjay Roy—the convict in the brutal RG Kar Hospital rape-murder case—had allegedly endured years of savage abuse at the hands of her father, Bhola Singh, and stepmother, Puja Singh, who is Sanjay's sister. Local claims beating the girl with belt before Kali Puja and Diwali painted a grim picture of daily hell, culminating in this tragic end. The storm broke when enraged locals, tipped off by the girl's grandmother Pratima Singh, descended on the house post-discovery, beating Bhola and Puja in a raw outpouring of fury over the long-ignored cries for help.

Pratima, the child's biological grandmother, wasted no time filing a formal murder complaint, backed by written statements from several local residents who corroborated tales of relentless torment—the stepmother's punches, the father's beating by belt, all while the girl shrank into silence. This explosive backdrop traces back further to a shattered past: Bhola, once married to Sanjay's elder sister Bobita, had an affair with his sister-in-law civic volunteer Puja, driving Bobita to suicide in despair. Bhola further married Puja, thrusting her into the role of stepmother to the now-deceased girl. Kolkata police had registered a full murder case under relevant sections, hauling the couple into the spotlight as investigators pore over forensic clues to confirm the grandmother's allegations.

With witness testimonies stacking up, the focus sharpens on whether chronic abuse pushed the girl to an early grave or if something far more sinister sealed her fate. For the tight-knit Alipore Viyasagar Colony locals, still reeling from the assault on the suspects, it's a wake-up call to shatter the silence around child cruelty in hidden corners. In a city still scarred by the RG Kar outrage, this 11-year-old minor's nightmare reminds us that evil often festers closest to those who should protect us most, urging a collective resolve to safeguard the innocent before another almirah becomes a tomb.
