Indian doctors urge PM Modi for better laws to protect medical workers after colleague's murder

In Kolkata, thousands protested for justice following the rape and murder of a trainee doctor inside a government hospital. Demonstrators expressed outrage and called for action against police brutality. In New Delhi, medical staff demanded stricter safety laws and improved working conditions, citing insufficient amenities and security. The Central Protection Act for Doctors, proposed in 2022 but never passed, is a major demand. Although a man has been arrested, the victim’s family believes additional suspects are involved and continues to seek justice.
