The entire nation is shocked over the horrific rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Actor Hrithik Roshan has expressed his deep anger and demanded the harshest punishment that will set an example.
The ‘Krrish’ actor sternly demanded a hard stop to such atrocities.
“Yes, we need to evolve into a society where we ALL feel equally safe. But that is going to take decades. It’s going to hopefully happen with sensitizing and empowering our sons and daughters. The next generations will be better. We will get there. Eventually. But what in the interim?” the actor wrote on X.
Demanding the harshest punishment, he added, “Right now justice would be to put a hard stop to such atrocities. And the only way to do that is a punishment so harsh that it scares the living daylights out of such perpetrators. That’s what we need. Perhaps?”
“I stand with the victim's family in seeking justice for their daughter and I stand with all the Doctors that were attacked last night,” his post further read. Not just Hrithik, actors Kareena Kapoor, Alia Bhatt and Nikita Dutta also condemned the gruesome rape and murder of the trainee doctor.
“12 years later, the same story; the same protest. But we are still waiting for a change,” Kareena shared on Instagram.
Similarly, Alia Bhatt wrote, “Another brutal rape. Another day of realisation that women are not safe anywhere. Another horrific atrocity to remind us that it’s been over a decade since the Nirbhaya tragedy but still nothing much has changed.”
“Gut hurts while seeing this. What times are we living in 💔” shared actress Nikita Dutta.
Worth mentioning, the post-graduate trainee doctor was found dead in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on August 9. Her family has alleged that the victim was raped and murdered. In a strong display of support, doctors across the nation continue to protest, demanding justice.
