TMC seeks 'death penalty' for RG Kar convict

The ruling TMC in West Bengal on Saturday welcomed the conviction of Sanjay Roy in the rape and murder of the doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, calling for the "death penalty" to set a strong precedent.
 
A trial court in Sealdah found Roy, a civic volunteer, guilty of raping and murdering the on-duty doctor at the state-run hospital on August 9. The court is set to pronounce the sentence on Monday.
 
Senior TMC MP Sougata Roy told PTI, "The ruling must be followed by the harshest punishment possible for Roy."
 
"This will not only serve as a warning to others who think they can get away with lawlessness but also restore people's faith in the system. We need to ensure that such actions are met with the strongest deterrent," he said.

Ahead of the February 5 Assembly elections in Delhi, several block-level leaders and workers from the Congress and BJP on Saturday joined the Aam Aadmi Party in the presence of Chief Minister Atishi.

Prominent among those who joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) was Mamata Verma, along with several Congress workers from the Wazirpur Assembly constituency.
