In Kolkata, a special court has announced that the verdict for the heinous rape and murder case of a junior woman doctor at RG Kar Medical College & Hospital will be delivered on January 18. This comes after a 68-day trial process that began on November 11 last year at the special court.
The incident, which shook the entire nation, took place on August 9 last year when the doctor's body was found in the seminar hall within the premises of R.G Kar. The initial investigation was conducted by a special team from Kolkata Police, who arrested civic volunteer Sanjay Roy as the primary suspect in the case.
Later, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) took over the investigation and in their charge sheet, they also named Sanjay Roy as the sole prime accused for the crime of rape and murder. During their interrogation, the CBI also arrested the former principal of RG Kar, Sandip Ghosh, and the former SHO of Tala Police Station, Abhijit Mondal, on charges of tampering with evidence.
However, both were recently granted default bail by the special court as the CBI failed to file a supplementary charge sheet against them within 90 days of their arrest. This caused a lot of criticism towards the CBI from various sections of society. While Ghosh is still in custody due to a separate investigation for financial irregularities at R.G. Kar, Mondal has been released on bail.
Meanwhile, the victim's parents approached the Calcutta High Court and then the Supreme Court, seeking a fresh probe to uncover the bigger conspiracy behind the crime. This has added to the already intense and emotional atmosphere surrounding the case.
As the date for the verdict draws closer, the entire nation awaits the decision of the special court and hopes for justice for the victim and her family.
