Thousands of people, a large number of them women across all age groups, took to the streets in different parts of Kolkata and elsewhere in West Bengal demanding justice for the raped-murdered woman medic of the state-run RG Kar Hospital on August 9 last year. Protestors gathered at key locations across the city including 8B Bus Stand (Jadavpur), Ruby More, Sinthee More, Academy of Fine Arts, Sealdah, Hazra More, and Baisnabghata, as well as in North 24 Parganas at Sodpur Traffic More and Barasat. Many held torches and mobile flashlights through the night, reminiscent of last year’s 'Women Reclaim the Night' movement held on the same date.

"Over a year has passed since the brutal attack on our sister at a state-run hospital. But excepting one, no other arrests and convictions have been made. The larger conspiracy behind the crime is yet to be unravelled by either state police or CBI. We are out on the streets demanding security for every woman so that none is raped, molested, harassed any more," Rimjhim Sinha, who had spearheaded the 'Women Reclaim the Night' campaign a year ago on August 14, said. "We demand every woman can move around freely wiithout any fear any time of the day," she added.
