The terrible rape and murder of a female trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital has been forcefully denounced by Bollywood star Anushka Sharma. “Men will be men,” she said on Instagram Stories, expressing her outrage at the occurrence.
The actor posted on social media, asking, “What’s your excuse this time or is it her fault, because men will be men, right?” Alia Bhatt denounced the doctor rape case in Kolkata on Thursday as well, stating that women are never protected. “One another vicious rape. “Yet another day of realizing that no place is safe for women,” she wrote.
She also clearly compared the Nirbhaya tragedy, which shocked the country more than ten years ago. Alia emphasized that women’s safety has not significantly altered, even in the face of significant public outcry and ensuing legislative improvements.
The actress provided alarming data from the 2022 National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) report to support her claims, pointing out that women make up 80% of nurses and 30% of physicians in India, putting them at more danger in a setting where violence against medical professionals is on the rise.
In addition, she emphasized that since 2022, crimes against women have increased by 4%, with over 20% of those crimes comprising rape and assault. She also cited the startling figure that approximately 90 rapes were recorded every day in India in that year, highlighting the pervasiveness of this problem.
Justice for the victim has been demanded by several Bollywood celebrities, including Parineeti Chopra, Mimi Chakraborty, Richa Chadha, Ayushmann Khurrana, Kriti Sanon, Twinkle Khanna, Kangana Ranaut, Soni Razdan, and Kareena Kapoor Khan.
There are plans for a national medical strike on Saturday in response to the horrific death of a post-graduate trainee doctor in Kolkata earlier this month, which has angered people around the country. The 31-year-old victim was discovered dead in the RG Kar Medical College lecture hall, her injuries serious. She had been assigned to night duty.
Following a gang that vandalized the hospital and broke CCTV cameras, a women-led demonstration over the event took place around midnight and caused a stir. The criminals who destroyed the emergency room, nursing station, and pharmacy are still being sought after.
