Nation Mourns Tragic Death of Trainee Doctor in Kolkata; Hrithik Roshan Demands Justice
The recent horrific incident involving the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata has deeply shaken the nation. On August 9, the post-graduate trainee doctor was discovered dead in the seminar hall of the medical college, sparking widespread outrage and grief. The family of the victim has alleged that she was subjected to both rape and murder, leading to an intense demand for justice.
In response to this tragedy, Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan took to social media to express his profound anger and concern. Through a heartfelt post on his X account, Roshan underscored the need for societal evolution to ensure safety for all. He wrote, “Yes we need to evolve into a society where we ALL feel equally safe. But that is going to take decades. It's going to hopefully happen with sensitizing and empowering our sons and daughters. The next generations will be better.”
Roshan’s message reflected a broader sentiment of frustration and urgency. He continued, “We will get there. Eventually. But what in the interim? Right now justice would be to put a hard stop to such atrocities. And the only way to do that is a punishment so harsh that it scares the living daylights out of such perpetrators. That's what we need. Perhaps?”
The actor's post further conveyed his solidarity with the victim’s family and the medical community, stating, “I stand with the victim's family in seeking justice for their daughter and I stand with all the Doctors that were attacked last night.”
The tragic incident has ignited a wave of protests from doctors across the country. Medical professionals have taken to the streets, demanding swift and severe justice for the victim and calling attention to the broader issue of violence against healthcare workers. The demonstrations highlight the urgent need for enhanced security and support for those working in the medical field, as well as a robust legal response to such heinous crimes.
