The Bengali television industry rallied in a protest march from Tollygunge to Deshapriya Park on Sunday, seeking justice for the victim in the RG Kar Medical College rape and murder case. Prominent figures from various sectors within the television industry were in attendance.

One protester expressed to ANI, "We are united in demanding justice for the woman. Artists, technicians, and television staff members refuse to accept anything but justice." Local women also protested for justice in Bhangore, South 24 Parganas, reacting to the same incident.

The Indian Secular Front (ISF) also mobilized a protest in Bhangore, with Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers demonstrating at Shyambazar over the case. Additionally, CBI officials conducted a polygraph test on Sanjay Roy, the accused in the case, earlier today. Parimal Dey, a teacher honoured with the Banga Ratna award, announced returning his award in protest against the state government's handling of the situation.
