Doctors in Delhi have voiced apprehension over unresolved aspects of the rape-and-murder case involving a trainee doctor in Kolkata, despite a local court's life imprisonment sentence for the primary suspect on Monday.

The incident traces back to August 9, 2024, when the body of the post-graduate trainee doctor was discovered at R G Kar Medical College and Hospital. The Kolkata Police subsequently detained Sanjoy Roy, a civic volunteer, as the alleged perpetrator.

The Sealdah court, while sentencing Roy to life imprisonment until death and ordering compensation for the victim's family, rejected capital punishment demands by deeming the crime not 'rarest of rare.' Doctors continue to demand answers surrounding other potential culprits, as stated during protests.
