The victim, a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, was found dead with extensive injuries. Her colleagues discovered her half-naked body on the podium, leading to shock and anger within the medical community and beyond.

The doctor’s tragic death serves as a stark reminder that safety and justice must prevail within our healthcare institutions.

Let us hope that these protests lead to meaningful reforms and a safer environment for all healthcare professionals in India.
