Roy was sentenced to life imprisonment by a trial court last year, and since then, he has been serving his term at Presidency Central Correctional Home in South Kolkata.
Civic volunteer Sanjay Roy, the sole convict in the ghastly RG Kar rape and murder in August last year, seems to be heading for bigger trouble over complaints of his sustained misbehaviour and defiance of the orders of prison authorities.
Roy was sentenced to life imprisonment by a trial court last year, and since then, he has been serving his term at Presidency Central Correctional Home in South Kolkata.
"It has been almost seven months since he has been behind bars, and to date, he has shown no sign of remorse. Instead, with every passing day, his misbehaviour towards fellow inmates and jail staff and defiance of orders from the correctional home authorities is increasing. If the situation continues like this, we will have no option but to opt for punishment against him as per the prison manuals," an official of the correctional home, who did not wish to be identified, said.
He said that Roy was initially given the job of attending to the garden within the jail premises. As per the rules, a new inmate has to work as an apprentice first, and thereafter, gets permanent status.
"Initially, he was working according to the rules. Later, he started violating the rules. He started misbehaving with fellow inmates and later with staff and officers of the correctional facility," the correctional home official said.
He said the punishment for sustained misbehaviour and defiance of orders might result in freezing of his freedom to withdraw money from the daily wages that he was entitled to for working within the correctional home premises. "His earnings will just continue to be accumulated, but he will not have the freedom to withdraw or spend that money," the correctional home official said.
