Calcutta HC Admits CBI Appeal in RG Kar Hospital Rape-Murder Case KOLKATA – The Calcutta High Court on Friday admitted an appeal filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) challenging the trial court's life sentence till death awarded to Sanjay Roy, the sole convict in the RG Kar hospital rape-murder case. A division bench, however, refused to admit the West Bengal government's appeal also seeking capital punishment for Roy. The bench, comprising Justices Debangsu Basak and Md. Sabbar Rashidi, noted the CBI's investigation in admitting their appeal. Roy was convicted in the rape and murder of an on-duty medic at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9, 2024. #RGKar #RapeMurderCase #Kolkata #CalcuttaHighCourt #CBI #WestBengal #Justice #Crime #LegalNews #India
