Sanjoy Roy, accused in the R G Kar Hospital rape-murder case, was convicted by the Sealdah court on Saturday. His mother, Malati Roy, expressed sorrow, stating, "I have three daughters, I understand the victim’s parents’ pain. Let him face the punishment he deserves, even if it’s the death penalty." His sister Sabita supported the verdict, calling his actions "horrific." Arrested on August 10, 2024, Roy, a civic volunteer, faced severe backlash from his family and community. Sabita added, “Life has changed since his arrest; we’ve faced societal shame.” The victim, a junior doctor, was brutally assaulted and murdered.
