Rahul Gandhi expressed shock over the rape and murder of a junior doctor in Kolkata, calling it a “cruel and inhuman act.” He said, “The entire country is shocked by the gruesome incident,” adding that the case has created “an atmosphere of insecurity among the doctors' community and women.” Gandhi criticized the handling of the investigation, stating, “Attempts to protect the accused raise serious questions on the hospital and local administration.” He urged a national dialogue to address the rising violence against women, questioning, “Why are even the strict laws made after the Nirbhaya case unsuccessful in preventing such crimes?”
