The alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata has led to a nationwide outcry, with the Indian Medical Association (IMA) announcing a 24-hour withdrawal of non-emergency medical services on August 17. Parallel protests have erupted across India, with thousands of women joining 'Reclaim the Night' marches in multiple cities, and celebrities like Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor Khan speaking out. The vandalism at the hospital during these protests resulted in multiple arrests and injuries to police officers. The Federation of Resident Doctors' Association (FORDA) resumed its strike, condemning the violence and calling for stronger protections for medical personnel. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other officials have called for strict measures to ensure women's safety. The investigation has been handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
