The horrific rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata has sparked outrage and protests across India. The victim, known as 'Abhaya', was found dead in the seminar hall of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. The incident has led to widespread condemnation, with many demanding justice for the victim and holding the West Bengal government accountable for the crime. The Congress party has been at the forefront of the protests, accusing Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of trying to divert attention from the issue by speaking nonsense.
Congress supporters took to the streets of Kolkata, raising anti-Mamata slogans and demanding justice for 'Abhaya'. The protest was led by Adhir Ranjan Choudhary, the leader of the Congress in the Lok Sabha, who wore all-black attire to symbolize mourning. The Congress has been critical of the Mamata Banerjee government's handling of the case, alleging that the government is trying to protect the perpetrators. They have also demanded that the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) take over the investigation.
The CBI has intensified its investigation into the case, following the protests and calls for accountability. The agency is looking into all aspects of the case, including the possibility of foul play and any potential lapses in security at the medical college. The incident has once again brought to the forefront the issue of women's safety in India, with many demanding stricter laws and better enforcement to prevent such heinous crimes.
