Public Outrage as Court Rules Against Capital Punishment in R.G. Kar Junior Doctor’s Rape and Murder Case

In the recent case of the rape and murder of a junior doctor at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, the accused, Sanjay Roy, was sentenced to life imprisonment. The court ruled that the crime did not fall under the “rarest of rare” category, which would have warranted capital punishment. This decision has sparked public outrage and criticism from political leaders.

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed her dissatisfaction with the verdict, stating that she believes the crime demands the death penalty. She described the act as heinous and argued that it should qualify as a “rarest of rare” case. Banerjee announced plans to appeal to a higher court to seek capital punishment for the convict.

The verdict has reignited debates about justice and the safety of women in India. Many are questioning the legal system’s response to such brutal crimes and advocating for stricter punishments to serve as a deterrent.
