Protests by doctors calling for a safer workplace environment continue into a second week following horrific rape and murder of a trainee medic in the eastern Indian city of Kolkat
Angry protests continue into a second week following horrific incidents at a hospital in the eastern city of Kolkata
A police volunteer has been arrested and charged with the crime. Women activists say the incident has highlighted how women in India continue to suffer from sexual violence despite tougher laws brought in after the 2012 gang-rape and murder of a 23-year-old student on a moving bus in New Delhi. “Our indefinite cease-work and sit-in will continue till our demands are met,” said Dr Aniket Mahata, a spokesman for protesting junior doctors at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, where the incident happened.
