Verdict Awaited in High-Profile Medical College Tragedy

The Sealdah court will announce on January 18 its verdict in the case of a doctor raped and murdered last year at R G Kar Medical College, where the CBI seeks the death penalty for Sanjay Roy. The case sparked nationwide protests for justice and hospital security reforms.

The waiting period for justice in the tragic case of a doctor's rape and murder at R G Kar Medical College is nearing its end, as the Sealdah court prepares to deliver its judgement on January 18.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), which took over the investigation from the Kolkata Police following a High Court order, has recommended the death penalty for accused Sanjay Roy. The additional district and sessions judge announced the conclusion of hearings last Thursday.

Amidst claims of additional parties involved, the victim's parents hope for further arrests. The August crime caused widespread outrage and protests, pushing for improved security measures in government hospitals.
