The Supreme Court has denied considering a petition for re-probe of the rape-murder of a doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar hospital that had shocked the nation last year. The petition, filed by the doctor’s parents, has been withdrawn by their lawyer. The top court, however, has allowed the parents to amend it and file a fresh petition.
Representing the Central Bureau of Investigation, Solicitor General Tushar Mehta told the court that the petition of the parents will only help the man convicted – Sanjoy Roy, a former volunteer with the Kolkata Police who had a free run of the hospital.

The doctor’s parents had sought re-investigation and additional investigation, contending that others besides Sanjay Roy were involved.
On January 20, a Kolkata trial court awarded convict Sanjay Roy “life term imprisonment till death” in the case.
