RG Kar Rape-Murder Case: SC to hear fresh plea by parents on March 17
RG Kar Rape-Murder Case: The case pertains to the death of a 31-year-old post-graduate trainee doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata last August.
RG Kar Rape-Murder Case: The Supreme Court will hear a fresh plea filed by the parents of the victim on March 17 in a rape-murder case that sparked nationwide outrage, NDTV reported on Thursday. The case pertains to the brutal rape and murder of a 31-year-old post-graduate trainee doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata last August.
Her body was found on August 9 on the hospital premises. Police investigation revealed that the woman was raped and murdered. The incident triggered nationwide protests.
In January, Sanjay Roy, the lone convict in the RG Kar rape and murder case, who was a Kolkata Police civic volunteer, was sentenced to life imprisonment by a court in Sealdah, Kolkata. The court had also imposed a fine of ₹50,000.
Both the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and the state government had filed appeals before the Calcutta High Court seeking capital punishment for Roy.
The Calcutta High Court on February 7 refused to admit the state government's appeal challenging the trial court's life-term-to-death sentence awarded to Roy while accepting the central probe agency's similar plea.
Grieving mother seeks to meet PM Modi
The mother of the RG Kar hospital medic who was raped and murdered recently said she and her husband would like to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi to seek justice for their daughter.
Speaking on International Women's Day on Saturday, the bereaved mother also raised questions over the safety and security of women in West Bengal.
"I would like to meet the PM and appeal to him to intervene in the matter and look into our appeal for justice for our deceased doctor," she said.
"Our daughter had dreamt big, and we never thought that she would have to die like this. It's been seven months since she left us, but where is justice? We do not even have the death certificate," she claimed.
"If a woman doctor is unsafe at her workplace, then where is her security?" she questioned.
