KOLKATA - An Indian man on trial for raping and murdering a 31-year-old doctor has pleaded not guilty, his lawyer said on Dec 21, a crime that appalled the nation and triggered wide-scale protests.
The discovery of the doctor's bloodied body at a government hospital in the eastern city of Kolkata on Aug 9 sparked nationwide anger at the chronic issue of violence against women.
Sanjoy Roy, 33, the lone accused in the case, pleaded not guilty before the judge in a closed court on Dec 20 in Kolkata, his lawyer Sourav Bandyopadhyay told AFP.
