Indian-origin female medics in the UK on Wednesday expressed solidarity with the protests taking place in India demanding justice for a postgraduate trainee allegedly raped and murdered in West Bengal.
There is an overwhelming outpouring of anger and grief as these Indian-origin doctors, many of whom have trained in India, demanded urgent action in the case of the alleged rape and murder of the young medico in Kolkata.
The body of the post-graduate trainee doctor with severe injury marks was found on Friday inside the seminar hall of the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital's chest department. The preliminary autopsy report suggested she was subjected to violent sexual assault evoking widespread protests from medical and non-medical fraternities in that state and others.
