Thousands gathered in Kolkata on Sunday night for a protest march demanding justice for a postgraduate doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered last month.

The rally, which included prominent film personalities and rights activists, culminated in a sit-in at Esplanade, central Kolkata. Protesters vowed to stay until Monday morning, pressing the government for a swift investigation and the arrest of those responsible.

Despite the 4 am deadline for a response from state authorities, no representatives appeared, intensifying frustrations and calls for continued action. The incident has sparked national outrage, with the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) now probing the case under the directive of the Calcutta High Court.
