Bengal Challenges Life Term For RG Kar Convict, Demands Death Penalty In High Court | Read
The Mamata Banerjee government has challenged the trial court's life imprisonment order against the convict in RG Kar rape-murder case in Kolkata, demanding that he be given the death penalty.
Sanjay Roy, a former civic volunteer who worked for the city police, was found guilty and sentenced to life term yesterday by a Sessions Court. The judge noted the case was not in the "rarest of rare" category - which justifies the death penalty.
