The Sealdah court convicted Sanjay Roy for the rape and murder of a junior doctor at RG Kar Hospital, a case that triggered nationwide outrage. While BJP leader Suvendu Adhikari welcomed the verdict, he urged further investigation into alleged conspiracies involving other officials. The sentencing is scheduled for January 20.
Junior doctors in West Bengal are on their 10th day of hunger strike, with one medic hospitalized due to severe illness. They demand justice related to a recent crime, the removal of the Health Secretary, improved hospital security, and better facilities. Authorities are urging them to end the strike amid healthcare service concerns.
Today(27th August), the Madhya Pradesh High Court, led by Chief Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva and Justice Vinay Saraf, extended the hearing on junior doctors’ grievances by a week. The session also considered the Supreme Court’s involvement in the related Kolkata rape case.
