A two-minute silence was observed on Sunday (August 9, 2026) in all government hospitals across West Bengal in memory of the on-duty doctor who was raped and murdered at R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on the second anniversary of her death.
The West Bengal Junior Doctors' Front, which led extensive protests following the discovery of the post-graduate trainee doctor's body on August 9, 2024, held a clinic for underprivileged people at Chitpur in north Kolkata.
"We are holding the clinic seeking justice for the on-duty doctor who was raped and murdered," said one participating doctor.
