Sealdah court in Kolkata will deliver its verdict today in the RG Kar rape-murder case, where 31-year-old trainee doctor was killed inside the medical college. The CBI seeks the death penalty for accused Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer, arrested via CCTV evidence. The case, transferred from Kolkata police to the CBI, highlighted lapses in initial investigations. Nationwide protests demanded stronger safety measures for medical professionals, prompting the Supreme Court to form a National Task Force for their protection. The victim's family alleges more culprits remain uncharged, citing DNA evidence, and has approached the high court for further action.
