The Sealdah court sentenced Sanjay Roy to life imprisonment until death after he was convicted of the rape and murder of the on-duty doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
The Sealdah Additional District and Sessions court found Roy guilty of the rape and murder of the postgraduate trainee on August 9 last year and directed the state to pay a compensation of Rs 17 lakh to the family of the deceased doctor.
