In a significant development, the Sealdah court in West Bengal is anticipated to deliver its judgment on January 18 concerning the troubling case of the rape and murder of a doctor from RG Kar Medical College. This incident has profoundly impacted the victim's family and resonated throughout the nation as they seek justice for their daughter. The father of the victim expressed his hopes for a favorable judgment, citing the DNA evidence that implicated multiple individuals in the crime. With ongoing legal proceedings in both the High Court and the Supreme Court, the family has made it clear that they are willing to go to any lengths to secure justice.
The case has its roots in the tragic discovery of the victim’s body in a seminar room at the hospital on August 9, which ignited widespread outrage and protests. Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer associated with the hospital, was subsequently arrested in connection with the murder. In a broader context involving RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) filed a chargesheet in November relating to financial irregularities, implicating various individuals including Sandip Ghosh and doctor Ashish Kumar Pandey, among others. This investigation was initiated per a directive from the Calcutta High Court.
Moreover, Sandip Ghosh has not only been questioned regarding the financial misconduct but has also been subjected to polygraph tests in connection with the murder investigation. The process of filing the chargesheet faced delays, which led to the granting of bail to several accused, including Abhijit Mondal and Sandip Ghosh, raising further concerns over the management of this high-profile case.

Why do these cases take so long? It feels like a cover-up is happening. Justice should be swift.

The family has every right to their hopes, but it feels like the system is designed to protect the guilty.

DNA evidence doesn’t matter if the accused are given bail and allowed to roam free. What's the point?

How many more delays do we have to tolerate? The authorities seem to be dragging their feet on this very serious matter.

What kind of security does the family have when it seems like the judicial system is failing them?

This case is just another example of the justice system failing the victims. I doubt we'll see a fair judgment.

It’s hard to trust the CBI when they’ve taken so long to file a proper chargesheet! Who knows what they are hiding?
