RG Kar Hospital News: The mother of the woman doctor, who was raped and murdered in Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College, declared on Saturday that they were still awaiting the arrest and punishment of the other culprits, even though a trial court here had convicted the main accused Sanjay Roy in the case.
"That Sanjay is guilty was proved through biological evidence. And that he stood silent during the trials in the court also proved his hand in torturing and killing my daughter. But he was not alone, there are others who haven't been arrested yet. So, justice hasn't been delivered," the victim's mother told PTI soon after the court convicted Roy.
She declared that she and her husband would fight for justice till the end of their lives.
"The case is not complete. It will only be completed after the others who were involved in killing our daughter are punished. We will wait for that day... Till that day, we will not be able to sleep. That is the only thing we want now," she said.
Roy was found "guilty" by the Sealdah court of raping and killing a doctor who was on duty at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
According to Anirban Das, the additional district and sessions judge, the court will announce his sentencing on Monday.
The verdict was rendered 162 days after the horrible act was committed on August 9, 2024, and almost two months after the in-camera trial began in November of last year.
Sanjay Roy was convicted in accordance with Section 64 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, which deals with rape, as well as Sections 66 and 103 (1) of the Act, which address the penalties for murder and death.
The maximum penalty stipulated in BNS Section 103 (1) is either death or life in prison.
