Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi posted a post on the social media platform X on Monday. In this post, she wrote that the incident of rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata is shocking. Safety of women at the workplace is a big issue in the country and concrete efforts are required for this. In such a situation, I appeal to the state government to take quick and strict action in this matter. Also, the victim's family and fellow doctors should get justice.
What is the whole matter?
On 9th August, the body of a female trainee doctor was found in a semi-nude state in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal. On the other hand, after this murder, the doctors have stopped working and have gone on strike. Protests are also being held in Delhi against this rape-murder of Kolkata. When the police took the accused Sanjay into custody and questioned him, he confessed to the rape and murder. Currently, Sanjay is in 14-day police custody.
