The father of the victim in the Kolkata rape and murder case broke down in court today after Sanjay Roy, the prime accused, was found guilty of the crime, more than five months after the incident sent shockwaves across the country.
Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer with the Kolkata Police, was found guilty of rape and murder under sections 64, 66 and 103 (1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
The semi-naked body of the on-duty 31-year-old doctor was found on the third floor of the seminar hall of the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9 last year.
When Anirban Das, the additional district and sessions judge of the Sealdah court, delivered the judgment, the victim's father told him that he had "honoured the faith" he had in him.
The sentencing will take place on Monday.
During the hearing, Roy said he was being "framed".
"I haven't done this. Why are those who did it being allowed to go?," the 33-year-old said, to which the judge said he would be given an opportunity to speak on Monday.
