Protests over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at R.G. Kar Medical College continue in Kolkata, with the BJP’s women’s wing staging a demonstration on August 30, 2024. Leaders, including Locket Chatterjee and Agnimitra Paul, demanded the resignation of West Bengal CM Mamata Banerjee and accused the State Women’s Commission of inaction. Mamata Banerjee, in response, wrote to PM Modi, urging stricter Central legislation for heinous crimes like rape and murder. Kolkata remains on edge as political parties and civil society groups organize more rallies and demonstrations.
