Protests continue in West Bengal following the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College, leading to widespread outrage and unrest. The victim's mother criticized Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her remarks suggesting that protesting doctors do not seek justice, which she found deeply hurtful. Meanwhile, Banerjee has faced backlash for allegedly threatening doctors with career ruin if they pursue justice through FIRs, a claim she denies, calling it part of a malicious disinformation campaign. The political landscape has become contentious, with opposition parties, including the BJP and Congress, joining the call for justice and safety for women. A 2018 MIT study and a 2023 USC study highlight how misinformation spreads rapidly on social media, complicating public understanding of the case. Kolkata Police have taken action against over 300 individuals for spreading false information related to the incident.
