Sanjay Roy, convicted of raping and murdering an on-duty doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, has said that he has “not committed” the crime and is “being framed”. Anirban Das, the Additional district and sessions judge of the Sealdah court, had on Saturday declared the 33-year-old guilty of rape and murder of the trainee doctor on August 9 last year.
Sanjay Roy, a former civic volunteer with the Kolkata Police, was found guilty of sexually assaulting the doctor and strangling her under Sections 64, 66 and 103(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
“I have not done anything and still, I have been held guilty,” he told the court during the pronouncement of the sentence this afternoon.
The court will resume the proceedings at 2:45 pm.
