The woman’s body was found in a classroom at the state-run R G Kar Medical College and Hospital on Aug. 9. Other doctors stayed off work for weeks to demand justice for her and better security at public hospitals.
Roy’s lawyers could not immediately be reached for comment on the verdict. They had argued there were glaring discrepancies in the investigation and forensic examination reports.
“Your guilt is proved. You are being convicted,“ the judge said.
“Our daughter could not have met such a horrific end by a single man,“ her father said. “We will remain in pain and agony until all the culprits are punished.”
Several doctors chanted slogans in solidarity with the victim outside the court. Dr Aniket Mahato, a spokesperson for the junior doctors, said street protests would continue “until justice is done”.
The investigation cited 128 witnesses, of whom 51 were examined during the trial, which that began on Nov. 11 and was fast-tracked to conclude swiftly, according to court sources.
The police officer is out on bail while the former head of the hospital remains in detention in connection with a separate case of financial irregularities at the hospital.
