After his conviction in the horrific rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College, civic volunteer Sanjay Roy claimed before the court that he is being “falsely implicated” in the case.

Sanjay Roy was arrested on August 11, after he was captured on CCTV camera entering the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College where the doctor was raped and later murdered.
Earlier today, the Sealdah sessions court found Roy guilty in the case. However, his punishment will be announced on Monday, January 20. The court also told the convict that he would be heard on Monday.
