The victim's parents have expressed disappointment upon Sanjay Roy receiving a life sentence for the crime committed at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. They stated they are dissatisfied with the court's decision to impose a life sentence on the perpetrator. They allege that the investigation into this heinous case was conducted half-heartedly, claiming many involved culprits were saved. Seeking justice, they plan to approach the High Court.
Mother Questions: Why Isn’t This the Rarest of Rare Case?
The victim's mother stated, "We are astounded. How is this not a rarest of rare case? A doctor on duty was raped and murdered. We are disheartened, as there was a larger conspiracy behind this crime." While announcing the sentence for Sanjay Roy, Additional District and Sessions Judge Anirban Das mentioned that this case doesn't fall under the category of rarest of rare, and hence issued a life imprisonment sentence.
Parents Refuse ₹1.7 Million Compensation
The victim's father stated that they would continue to fight until all perpetrators are punished. Additionally, the victim's parents refused compensation. The court directed the state government to provide a compensation of ₹1.7 million. The judge commented, "The victim died during duty hours at the hospital, which was her workplace, and her family deserves compensation, a state responsibility."

Following this, the victim's mother stated she is still awaiting the arrest and punishment of other perpetrators. She added, "Sanjay Roy is guilty, proven by biological evidence. His silence during the court proceedings also proved his involvement in tormenting and murdering my daughter."
Determined to Fight for Justice Till the End
She remarked, "Sanjay Roy wasn't the only one involved in this case. Others who remain unarrested were also involved. Justice isn't complete. Alongside my husband, I will fight for justice till my last day. Justice will only be served when all involved in our daughter's murder are punished, and we await that day. We won't rest until then. That is our only wish."
