Widespread rallies and demonstrations erupted in Kolkata on Sunday, as citizens demanded justice for the RG Kar hospital doctor who was raped and murdered.

Retired Army officers, alumni of the Purulia Sainik School, marched from Jadavpur 8B Bus Stand to Golpark south of Kolkata, carrying placards as rain poured down.

Simultaneously, former students of Calcutta Girls' High School held a rally in Wellington, situated in the city's central part. At Karunamoyee in Salt Lake, hundreds of nurses also took to the streets, advocating for safety in the workplace.
