“Reclaim the Night”

The dead trainee doctor was recovered from the seminar hall of RG Kar Hospital. A postmortem of the mishap will be conducted by a CBI team comprised of forensic and medical experts.

Shortly before the 78th Independence Day on Wednesday evening, together with political leaders, actresses, and actors in West Bengal, men and women will probably protest in the street, at intersections, and on major roads against the rape and murder of a female trainee doctor at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata.

It coincides with the beginning of an investigation into the event’s occurrence by seniors in the Central Bureau of Investigation who reached Kolkata on Wednesday morning. The body of the trainee doctor was found dead on August 9 in the seminar hall of the RG Kar Hospital. To that spot, the CBI team members will proceed, having been constituted out of forensic and medical personnel.

 

A senior official from the central agency informed me that three groups of CBI officers have been constituted to investigate the case of RG Kar Hospital.

To mark the ‘divine night’, which falls on Wednesday, people will be moving on roads, at least in 45 places across Bengal, as reported first by The Telegraph.

As per some organisers in several districts, it will begin assembling late Wednesday night, and the protest will go on after the wee hours of Independence Day; in fact, for the freedom of Bengal women, said the newspaper.

The invitation to the protest has been extended across all sections of society, and through the strategy of a social media campaign, it will be called ‘for women’s independence on the midnight of independence’. Incidentally, The Indian Express says that participants are encouraged to light candles and blow conch shells.

 

Having details about aggregating places together—from different portions of Suprol or Kolkata to other towns in Bengal—is getting popular. Some of the recognized slogans include Justice for RG Kar Hospital, The Night is Ours, Reclaim the Night, Meyera Raat er Dhokhol Koro (Women Seize the Night), and Meyera Raat er Dokhol Nao. Again, in its IE report, it added that there are viral videos on WhatsApp that say ‘Women take the night… fill it with the sound of conch shells’ and ‘Sankh Dhonite Bhoriye Dao’.

Chiefs of the ruling and other opposition parties have come out in the open UN themselves, saying they wish to be part of this historical and thus far apolitical #streetmovement, as the hashtag of the event has been doing the rounds on WhatsApp and other social media circles since Wednesday morning.

The tragic incident of August 9, 2024, when the dead body of a lady doctor was found in the RG Kar hospital seminar hall.

Trinamool MP Sukhendu Sekhar Ray is likely to be present at the protest og RG Kar Hospital

Sukhendu Sekhar Ray of the Trinamool Congress condemned the rape and murder of the doctor and declared he would join a dharna on Wednesday to express solidarity of the women’s midnight protest.

Women are getting ready to go on roads at midnight in the eastern metropolis and districts of West Bengal against the killing of the trainee doctor at RG Kar Hospital.
Sukhendu Sekhar Ray said, ‘I shall observe an individual dharna today from 5 pm to 9 pm to register my protest and show solidarity with the women who are hitting the streets tonight… Unfortunately, I am physically unable to come out on streets tonight at midnight, being of the youngest of the group, but my spirit is fully with the protestors’.

In a comment on X last night, the TMC MP said that he would join the demonstrations, alleging that the police had tortured his granddaughter and daughter.

 

Such a scene is common with many Bengali families, and I am a woman with daughters and tiny granddaughters; I will be amongst the protesters tomorrow. It is going to be a long time for us to come up to the surface. Talk enough of women having been abused. Participate with me in refusing. However, “something,” he said on the system for microblogging.

Ray further said this after a post from a member showing concern on whether Ray was going to be ejected from the party, saying, “Please do not worry about my fate.” It was as if in my veins there was the blood of a freedom fighter. I am not bothered enough. “
