Police in Kolkata fired tear gas and water cannons on Tuesday to disperse thousands of protesters demanding justice for the rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor. The woman’s body was found at RG Kar Medical College, sparking nationwide outrage over violence against women. Protesters marched toward a government building, calling for West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's resignation. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has taken over the case after criticism of the local police’s slow progress. Chief Minister Banerjee announced new safety measures at state-run hospitals following the incident.
