Kolkata doctor murder: Women fill streets across Bengal in midnight protests, demand justice
KOLKATA: Thousands of women from all walks of life hit the streets across West Bengal at the stroke of midnight on Wednesday, protesting the horrific rape-murder of a doctor on duty at a Kolkata hospital last week.
Spurred by the 'Reclaim the Night' campaign, which gained momentum through social media, the protests began at 11:55 pm, aligning with Independence Day celebrations, and spread across key areas in both small towns and big cities, including several landmarks in Kolkata.
As night descended, the streets buzzed with chants of "We Want Justice," echoing the collective anger and sorrow of women from every corner - students, professionals, and homemakers - marching together to demand accountability and an end to violence against women.
