On September 4, thousands of women participated in the second ‘Reclaim the Night’ protest across West Bengal, demanding justice for the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. Protesters formed human chains and held candles and banners with messages like “We want justice” and “Stop Violence against Women.” The mass movement follows nationwide outrage over the incident. The West Bengal Assembly has passed a stringent anti-rape bill proposing capital punishment for severe cases. Demonstrations included lawyers forming human chains outside Kolkata courts.
