Kolkata: In a recent development, the Sealdah Court in West Bengal on Monday framed charges against Sanjay Roy in connection with the rape and murder of a medical student at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The charges were framed under sections of the Bhartiya Nyay Sahita, and the trial is set to begin on November 11. This case has drawn significant attention due to its serious nature, and the court's decision marks a major step in the legal proceedings against the accused.
In the wake of this shocking incident, junior doctors have called for the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take strict action and ensure capital punishment for those responsible. Speaking to ANI, Dr Rajdeep, a junior doctor, emphasized the need for severe consequences, stating, "We want the CBI to take strict action against those involved. Capital punishment should be given to all the accused." He also urged the CBI to compile a comprehensive chargesheet that includes names not initially mentioned.
