“We demand capital punishment for accused”: FAIMA Chief Patron on RG Kar case verdict

New Delhi [India], January 18 (ANI): Dr Rohan Krishnan, Chief Patron, Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) on Saturday demanded capital punishment for the accused in the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital case.

In a self-made video, Dr Krishnan said, “We demand capital punishment for the accused who raped and murdered the doctor who was on duty at the Government Hospital of West Bengal…We stand with the family of the deceased and hope that Justice is Served by the court.”

The Sealdah Civil and Criminal Court is set to announce the verdict of RG Kar’s rape-murder case today.

The father of the deceased doctor said on Saturday that whatever punishment is appropriate will be decided by the court.

Speaking to ANI, he asserted that they will continue to knock on the door of the court until they get justice in the case.

“Not just one, but the DNA report shows the presence of four boys and one girl. We will feel some relief when the accused are punished. Until we get justice, we will keep knocking on the doors of the court and will also seek the support of the people of the country,” the father said.

He also alleged that the Central Bureau of Investigation has done nothing in the matter.

“The CBI has done nothing in this matter. There is no question of satisfaction here. We have raised several questions before the High Court and the Supreme Court. We have sought answers from the court itself. We did not seek answers from the CBI, but the court assigned all responsibility to the CBI,” he said.

“In two months, the court reviewed all the evidence, and whatever punishment is appropriate will be decided by the court,” the father of RG Kar victim added.

The case, which involves the rape and murder of a trainee doctor whose body was found on August 9 in the hospital’s seminar room, sparked widespread protests. After the incident, Sanjay Roy, a civic volunteer at the hospital, was arrested in connection with the crime.
