Sanjay Roy has been convicted in the RG Kar rape and murder case of a junior doctor by the Sealdah CBI Court in Kolkata. The court’s decision was based on forensic evidence and DNA matches, leading to a significant punishment for Roy.

Found guilty of sexually assaulting the doctor and throttling her to death, Roy was convicted on Saturday by the judge under Sections 64, 66 and 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee expressed discontent over the RG Kar hospital rape-murder case and said, "We had demanded capital punishment for the accused. We have ensured the death penalty in cases where the state conducted the trial. The case was taken away from us and given to CBI."
