R G Kar Verdict : Kolkata Court Sentences Sanjoy Roy To Life Imprisonment Till Death ; Doctors Livid, Victim’s Parent’s Aghast ; CM Mamata Banerjee Reacts
A Kolkata court has sentenced Sanjay Roy to life imprisonment until death after he was convicted of raping and murdering an on-duty doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, rejecting demands for the death penalty saying it was not a “rarest of the rare” crime.
Additional District and Sessions Judge in Sealdah, Anirban Das, had on Saturday found Roy guilty of committing the crime against the postgraduate trainee doctor on August 9 last year. The heinous crime triggered nationwide outrage and prolonged protests in West Bengal.
