Junior doctors have refused to work in many parts of the country since the incident in Kolkata
KOLKATA – Police in India fired teargas and water cannon to disperse hundreds of protesters marching in the eastern city of Kolkata on Tuesday to demand the resignation of a top state minister in the wake of a gruesome rape and murder of a trainee doctor.
The Aug. 9 attack on the 31-year-old doctor has caused nationwide outrage, similar to the widespread protests witnessed after a 2012 gang-rape of a 23-year-old student on a moving bus in New Delhi, with campaigners saying women continue to suffer from high levels of sexual violence despite tougher laws.
Junior doctors have refused to see non-emergency patients in many parts of the country since the incident at Kolkata's state-run R.G. Kar Medical College, as they launched protests demanding justice for the victim and greater safety for women at hospitals. On Tuesday, more than 5,000 policemen were deployed in Kolkata and the neighbouring city of Howrah, a senior officer said, as the protests led by some university students took off, demanding the resignation of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.
