The Sealdah Court sentenced Sanjay Roy to life imprisonment and a Rs 50,000 fine for the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College in August 2024. The BJP called the verdict a “travesty of justice” and accused the West Bengal government of destroying evidence to weaken the case. Leaders demanded an appeal for the death penalty. The victim's family rejected compensation and sought justice. TMC and CPI(M) also expressed discontent, with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee emphasizing her preference for capital punishment. The case continues to evoke outrage nationwide.
