Protests erupted across Kolkata in response to the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, with thousands participating in candlelight vigils and switching off lights between 9 PM and 10 PM to symbolize their outrage. The deceased doctor’s father expressed deep frustration over the slow pace of justice, as participants demanded accountability and action from authorities. Notable gatherings occurred at various locations in the city, including Shyambazar and Jadavpur, where people performed street plays and chanted slogans for justice. The West Bengal Assembly has passed the 'Aparajita Woman and Child Bill (West Bengal Criminal Laws and Amendment) 2024', aiming to increase penalties for crimes against women. The incident has prompted national outcry, with protests also seen in other cities, including Delhi, and arrests made in connection with the case, including that of a civic volunteer and the former principal of the medical college. Prominent personalities and political leaders joined the public demonstrations, emphasizing the urgent need for improved safety for women.
