In a resolute display of solidarity, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee spearheaded a protest rally from Moulali to Dorina crossing in Kolkata, calling for justice for a woman doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered.
The alleged assault took place at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, where the post-graduate trainee doctor was found murdered on August 9. A civic volunteer was arrested the following day in connection with the crime.
The anger reached a boiling point on Thursday as a mob of around 40 people vandalised parts of the hospital, damaging CCTV cameras and ransacking areas where junior doctors had been protesting for increased security.
