In West Bengal, thousands of protestors, mostly women, took to the streets demanding justice for the raped and murdered doctor from RG Kar Hospital, a case that shocked the nation on August 9 last year.
Gatherings were observed at notable city locations such as Jadavpur, Ruby More, and Academy of Fine Arts, alongside areas in North 24 Parganas. Protestors illuminated the night with torches and mobile flashlights, reminiscent of last year's 'Women Reclaim the Night' campaign.
At Jadavpur, Tamanna Khatun's mother, alongside activists and cultural performers, vowed to continue fighting for justice. Meanwhile, civil society voices urge investigation into a potentially larger conspiracy, calling for heightened security measures for women.
