Sealdah Court to Announce Verdict in Tilottama Case, Justice Awaits

Baby Chakraborty, KalimNews, January 11, 2025, Kolkata: The Sealdah court is set to announce its verdict on Saturday, January 18, at 2:30 pm, in the tragic case surrounding the death of young doctor Tilottama at RG Kar Medical College. The incident, which occurred on August 9, caused widespread outrage and raised serious questions about security and accountability within the healthcare system. The judgment comes 5 months and 9 days after the incident that shook the state and the nation.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has concluded its investigation and presented its findings to the court. Alongside the agency’s case, Tilottama's parents have filed a separate application, voicing their belief that more individuals were involved in the crime beyond the accused, Sanjay Rai. They have urged the court to identify and bring to justice any additional culprits. Their statements were also heard in court during the closed-door proceedings on Thursday.

As the court prepares to deliver its judgment, the demand for the harshest punishment for the accused has been reiterated by both the CBI and Tilottama's grieving parents. The verdict is expected to provide clarity on the accountability for this devastating incident, which has highlighted critical gaps in safety and stirred calls for systemic reform.

All eyes are now on the Sealdah court, where the verdict will finally reveal the outcome of a case that has captured the attention and emotions of the entire state.
