Gulf Today
|August 10, 2025
The ‘Nabanna Avijan (march to state secretariat)’ on the first anniversary of the rape and murder of a junior woman doctor at RG Kar Hospital, turned violent on Saturday as police resorted to baton-charge to disperse the protesters and allegedly beat up the victim's parents too.
-
The victim's mother and BJP leaders have alleged that in the police action, the sacred shell-bangle on her wrist, traditionally believed to be the symbolic representation of married women in Bengal, was broken.
Accompanied by BJP legislators, including the Leader of the Opposition in West Bengal Assembly, Suvendu Adhikari, the victim's parents took out a march from Dorina Crossing towards Nabanna, located at Madirtala in Kolkata-adjacent Howrah district, demanding justice for their daughter.
