The heinous rape and murder of Dr. Moumita Debnath, a postgraduate trainee doctor at Kolkata’s R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital, has sparked widespread outrage and horror across India. The 31-year-old doctor’s brutalized body was found in the seminar hall of the medical college, with severe injuries and broken glasses. The autopsy revealed a gruesome picture of torture, with injuries to her eyes, mouth, belly, neck, legs, and private parts.
The case has been marred by controversy, with the police initially misinforming the family about the cause of death and later arresting a civic volunteer who confessed to the crime. However, many believe that the actual culprits are still at large and that the accused is a scapegoat.
The case has been transferred to the CBI, and the High Court has rebuked the police and state government for their botched-up investigation. The ruling party’s apathy and inaction have been criticized, particularly given that the state has a woman Chief Minister, Mamata Banerjee.
Social media is filled with outrage and demands for justice, with many netizens slamming the media for dubbing the case as “Nirbhaya 2.0”. They argue that this label erases the identity and memory of Dr. Debnath and reduces her to just another statistic.
The public is demanding justice for Dr. Debnath and her family, and are calling for the actual culprits to be brought to book. The case has highlighted the need for greater safety and security measures for women, particularly in public spaces.
