The West Bengal government has filed a petition in the Calcutta High Court demanding capital punishment for Sanjay Roy, the convict in the RG Kar Medical College rape and murder case. The move challenges the Sealdah Civil and Criminal Court’s decision to sentence Roy to life imprisonment.

A Kolkata court on Monday sentenced Sanjay Roy, who was convicted for the brutal rape and murder of a 31-year-old on-duty doctor at the state-run R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital, to life imprisonment and a fine of Rs.

A day after Mamata Banerjee expressed 'shock' over Sealdah Court's verdict in the RG Kar rape and murder case, the West Bengal government moved the Calcutta High Court demanding the death penalty for the convict.

Hours after a special court in Kolkata awarded life imprisonment to Sanjay Roy, the sole accused in the rape and murder of a lady doctor at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in August 2024, chief minister Mamata Banerjee announced that West Bengal government will challenge the order in Calcutta High Court soon.
