Thousands marched through Kolkata early Thursday to condemn the assault and murder of a local doctor and demand justice. The 31-year-old’s brutalized body, discovered last week at a state hospital, sparked nationwide protests. Prime Minister Narendra Modi called for swift punishment for those committing such “monstrous” acts against women.
In Kolkata, large crowds marched under the slogan “reclaim the night” and held signs demanding action. Protesters called for an end to violence against women, with some signs reading, “We want justice” and “Hang the perpetrator, save the women.”
Modi, speaking at Independence Day celebrations, expressed pain over violence against women, emphasizing the need for swift investigations and severe punishment. Doctors nationwide are also demanding better security and have halted elective services in protest. Protests have spread to hospitals across the country, with doctors questioning the lack of legal protections.
The Telegraph highlighted the widespread public protests and noted that support has come from various sectors, not just medical professionals.
