Protests Erupt Over RG Kar Rape-Murder Case
News summary

The outrage over the rape-murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College has intensified protests in West Bengal, with calls for Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's resignation. BJP leaders have criticized Banerjee for her handling of the incident, claiming she has shown insensitivity towards the victim's family and delayed justice, citing a 14-hour delay in registering the FIR. In response, Banerjee denied allegations of offering financial compensation to the victim's parents and accused the BJP and the media of conspiracy and exaggeration. Meanwhile, actress Ritabhari Chakraborty has urged for a similar investigation into the Bengali film industry, inspired by the Hema Committee's findings in Kerala. The Supreme Court has directed the CBI to provide a fresh status report on the case, and the prime suspect has been arrested. The situation has sparked broader discussions about women's safety and accountability within various sectors in the state.
