The parents of a 31-year-old doctor, raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College, have opposed the death penalty for Sanjoy Roy, convicted of the crime. Representing them, lawyer Gargi Goswami told the Calcutta High Court that “taking another life won’t bring their daughter back.” The West Bengal government and CBI have appealed the Sealdah Court’s life sentence, seeking capital punishment. Advocate General Kishore Dutta argued the trial court's decision was inadequate. Justice Debangsu Basak acknowledged both appeals and reserved the verdict. The case highlights debates on judicial sentencing and victims' rights in India.
