Mother of RG Kar Murder Victim Seeks PM Modi's Intervention for Justice

The grieving parents of the murdered Kolkata doctor question women's safety in West Bengal and demand action seven months after the crime.

The mother of a junior doctor who was raped and murdered at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata has requested a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi to seek justice for her daughter.
The crime, which occurred on August 9, 2024, sparked national outrage and raised concerns about the safety of women in workplaces across India.
The parents claim they have not yet received their daughter's death certificate and criticize the lack of progress in delivering justice.
Sanjay Roy, a Kolkata Police civic volunteer, was convicted of the crime and sentenced to life imprisonment in January 2025, but both the CBI and state government have appealed for a death penalty.
The Calcutta High Court recently rejected the state government's appeal for capital punishment while admitting the CBI's similar plea for review.
