The brutal rape and murder of a 31-year-old resident doctor during her shift at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College has sparked nationwide protests. Medical professionals across India launched an indefinite strike, demanding justice, safety for healthcare workers, and an unbiased investigation. The incident has led to calls for the resignation of hospital authorities and the implementation of a central healthcare protection law. The suspect, a Kolkata Police civil volunteer, has been arrested. West Bengal's Chief Minister has set a deadline for the investigation, warning of a handover to the Central Bureau of Investigation.
