Doctor rape-murder case highlights: Mother-in-law of accused Sanjoy Roy says 'he could not have done it alone'
Hello, readers. The rape and murder of a female trainee doctor in Kolkata's R G Kar Medical College and Hospital has sent shockwaves throughout the country, with doctors organising protests and ceasing work to demand swift justice for the victim. This has in turn affected the patients waiting at the Out-Patient Departments of several medical colleges. Meanwhile, a person has been arrested for issuing a threat to Mamata Banerjee over social media. TMC MP Sukhendu has also sought the Calcutta HC's protection from police summons in the case. Thank you for tracking the latest updates on the case, here on DH.

Mother-in-law of accused Sanjoy Roy says 'he could not have done it alone'
The accused Sanjoy Roy's mother-in-law in a startling statement said that while he may have thrashed her daughter when she was pregnant with his child, Roy didn't have the "capacity" to rape and murder the Kolkata medic all on his own.
She said, "My relations with him were very tense...They were married for 2 years...His marriage to my daughter was his second marriage...Initially, everything was good for 6 months. When she was 3-month pregnant, he caused a miscarriage. He thrashed her, a police complaint was registered for the same. Following this, my daughter continued being ill, I bore all her expenses for medicines... Sanjoy was not good. Hang him or do whatever you want with him. I won't speak about the crime. He could not have done it alone. He doesn't have the capacity to do it alone..."
