The parents of a 31-year-old female doctor, who was tragically raped and murdered at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, are continuing their fight for justice. They recently held a protest on what would have been her 32nd birthday, expressing their deep sorrow and frustration despite a previous court sentencing.
Parents’ Continued Demand for Justice
The Sealdah sessions court sentenced Sanjay Roy, a Kolkata Police civic volunteer, to life imprisonment without parole on January 20 for the crime. Even with this sentencing, the victim’s family and supporters feel that true justice has not been fully served. They have taken to the streets to voice their concerns and keep the memory of the young doctor alive.

The large turnout at Sunday’s gathering demonstrates the continued demand for accountability and a safer environment for everyone working in healthcare.
Calls for Resignation and Broader Implications
The victim’s parents are demanding more than just a single conviction; they want systemic change to prevent similar tragedies.
