Kolkata is witnessing widespread protests over the rape and murder of a trainee woman doctor. The BJP's women's wing is holding a candlelight rally to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's residence, demanding her resignation. A 12-hour general strike has been called by the Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist), seeking arrest of those involved. CM Banerjee will lead a protest on August 17, demanding capital punishment for the accused. The protests follow vandalism at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, where the doctor was killed.
