RG Kar Rape and murder case convict  Sanjay Roy has been sentenced to life in jail. During the pronouncement of the sentence at a local court in Kolkata this afternoon, Sanjay Roy, a former civic volunteer with the Kolkata Police, said that he has “not committed” the crime and is “being framed.”

The CBI, which was investigating the case, said it falls under the “rarest of rare” category and that the maximum punishment, the death penalty, should be awarded to Roy to “maintain people’s faith in society.”

Anirban Das, the Additional district and sessions judge of the Sealdah court,  said it’s not in the rarest of rare category. The court also directed the state to pay compensation of Rs 17 lakh to the victim’s family. The local court sentenced Sanjay Roy to life imprisonment.
