The woman's body was found in a classroom at the state-run R G Kar Medical College and Hospital on Aug 9, 2024. Other doctors stayed off work for weeks to demand justice for her and better security at public hospitals. Defendant Sanjay Roy said in November he was "completely innocent" and was being framed. Dr Aniket Mahato, a spokesperson for the junior doctors, said street protests would continue "until justice is done". More than 200 armed police personnel were deployed in anticipation of the verdict as Roy was brought to court in a police car.
