The 31-year-old female medical trainee was found dead at one of the largest government hospitals in the eastern city of Kolkata last August. Her body sustained multiple injuries and an autopsy report described evidence of sexual violence. This incident sparked protests across India concerning the ongoing epidemic of violence against women, forcing a national conversation on the responsibility of institutions to protect their staff.
Judge Anirban Das, in sentencing the convicted Mr. Roy, stated that the nature of the crime was exceptionally brutal, calling it 'the rarest of the rare.' The case, which involved a young woman on duty, further galvanized public outrage and highlighted the urgent need for better safety measures in public institutions like hospitals.
