Social media is in uproar following the harrowing rape-murder of a young trainee doctor in Kolkata. The incident has ignited a wave of outrage, with students, activists, politicians, and celebrities voicing their dismay over the dire state of women’s safety in India.
Richa Chadha, taking to Twitter, urged West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to guarantee justice for the victim.

The actor captioned her tweet as, “The women of this country expect a fair and impartial investigation from you @MamataOfficial, and swift justice. You’re the only woman currently to occupy the post of Chief Minister. #JusticeForMoumita.”

Earlier, Kangana Ranaut called for a CBI investigation into the incident, demanding a thorough and transparent probe into the shocking crime. She wrote, ‘The murder of a trainee woman doctor at the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata is horrible and horrific. The semi-nude body of the woman post-graduate trainee doctor was found inside the seminar hall on Friday morning. She was brutally murdered, and her body bore multiple injury marks. The preliminary autopsy report indicated sexual abuse before her murder. I hope the case is transferred to the CBI for a complete inquiry and the assaulter is punished harshly’.

Swara Bhasker also expressed outrage over the heinous crime and tweeted, “The rape and murder of the resident doctor in #Kolkata is gruesome & horrifying & and harsh reminder of how we as a society treat women no matter if they are the ones who will treat and save us should the need arise! Also abject lapse on the part of hospital authorities & infrastructure! It’s a painful reminder that India is no country for women. The accused must be put on trial and justice must be served speedily. Solidarity with the protesting doctors of our country! #KolkataDoctorDeath.”
On Tuesday, the Calcutta High Court directed that the investigation into the alleged rape and murder of the trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital be transferred from the Kolkata Police to the CBI.
