Sanjay Roy's admission of being in the CCTV footage was crucial in his conviction for the rape and murder of a resident doctor at RG Kar Medical College. Despite denying many questions, his presence at the crime scene was established.

Sentencing Roy to life in prison, a Kolkata court said Monday that the case didn’t meet the criteria to be classified as ‘rarest of rare’, and therefore, did not merit death penalty.

Sanjay Roy has been convicted of rape and murder of an RG Kar postgraduate trainee doctor by the Sealdah CBI court in Kolkata.
