A court in India has convicted a man of the rape and murder of a trainee doctor – a crime that sparked nationwide outrage.
Sanjay Roy, a hospital volunteer worker, was found guilty over the attack, which happened in August last year at a hospital in Kolkata city in West Bengal state.
The incident caused shockwaves across the country, leading to widespread protests and concerns over the safety of healthcare workers in India, especially women.
Judge Anirban Das said the sentence, which will be announced on Monday, would range from life in prison to the death penalty. Roy has maintained his innocence and said previously that he was being framed.
