Tens of thousands of women marched through Kolkata on August 14, 2024, protesting the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College. The Reclaim the Night march, held on Independence Day, was fueled by outrage over the brutal crime and allegations of negligence. Protesters carried candles and torches, chanting for justice despite heavy rain and clashes with police. Smaller protests occurred in Delhi, Mumbai, and other cities. The case has been transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation amid claims of a cover-up. Organizers hailed the scale as unprecedented.
