India in shock after rape and murder of doctor

India is once again shaken by anger following the rape and murder of a Kolkata hospital doctor. The case is becoming more scandalous by the day, underlining the persistence of violence against women.

The mutilated body of the 31-year-old trainee doctor was found on August 9 in a meeting room of the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital where she practiced. According to the initial investigation, she was violently assaulted and raped when she isolated herself to rest after a 36-hour shift. The hospital, like many others, does not have an on-call room.
