The brutal rape and murder of a second-year postgraduate medical student at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata has drawn widespread condemnation from various organizations, including the Calcutta High Court Bar Library Club and the Indian Medical Association. The Calcutta High Court has transferred the investigation to the CBI due to concerns over the state police's handling of the case, with allegations of a cover-up regarding the initial claims of suicide made by local authorities. Prominent figures, including filmmaker Aparna Sen, have joined protests demanding accountability from police and better safety measures for women in hospitals. Medical associations have called for improved security protocols, including surveillance systems and fast-track courts for assaults against healthcare workers. The tragic incident has ignited calls for systemic changes to protect the safety of doctors, particularly female practitioners. The victim's parents are advocating for justice, expressing dissatisfaction with the state's response to the investigation.
