In Kolkata, a horrific case of rape and murder has ignited widespread protests. A 31-year-old female trainee doctor was found dead in RG Kar Medical College after being assaulted early Friday. The arrested suspect, a hospital volunteer, had unrestricted access to the ward. The incident has prompted a 'Reclaim the Night' march in Kolkata and strikes by doctors nationwide, demanding stricter laws for healthcare workers' protection. Women, making up 30% of India’s doctors and 80% of its nurses, face increasing security risks in hospitals amid rising violence against them.
