Sanjay Roy Convicted Of Crime
Sealdah Court in Kolkata on Saturday deliverd its verdict on the horrifying rape and murder case of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The court announced Sanjay Roy convicted of the crime.
In the RG-Kar rape-murder case, the court called for a brief recess and later asked to reconvene at 2:45 PM to announce the sentencing judgment. However, during the proceedings, the defense attorney for the accused, Sanjay, appealed to the judge, arguing against the death penalty. The lawyer emphasized that even in rare cases, there should be room for reformation and rehabilitation, and the court should consider evidence that shows why the convict may not deserve complete elimination from society.
On the other hand, the victim’s family lawyer had strongly advocated for the death sentence, demanding the maximum possible punishment for the accused. The final decision on the sentencing will be made when the court reconvenes later today.
