Actor Alia Bhatt took to social media and expressed shock and outrage over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor in Kolkata. Alia shared a note regarding the horrible incident on Instagram Wednesday night. In the post, Alia raised concern over the safety of women.
Alia pens note on Kolkata rape-murder
Alia 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.” She also shared the statistics from the National Crime Records Bureau’s report for 2022.
She added, “How are we as women all supposed to feel? How are we supposed to go to work or go about our daily lives with this playing on our minds. This horrific incident has once again brought to our notice that it is women who disproportionately bear the onus of ensuring their own safety.”
Despite so many crimes, all those women who have suffered, there is really no recourse, no hope that things will change. We could not save this young woman, but we can at least try to prevent it from happening again. My request to the powers that be: FOCUS on the safety of women. FOCUS on creating safe spaces and increase all avenues of protection; FOCUS on the ‘why.’ In big, bold letters, it is clear that something is fundamentally wrong with the way our society is currently functioning.
“These continuous inhuman acts happening to the women prove that somewhere, at the root level something is going wrong, and until we dig deep and uproot it, nothing is going to change. Don’t tell women to change their path—change the terrain. Every woman deserves better,” she concluded.
Parineeti, Vijay, Ayushmann react to incident too
Actor Parineeti Chopra re-shared a post talking about the crime on her Instagram Stories. She wrote, “If it is too difficult for you to read, imagine what it was for her. Disgusting. Horrific. Hang him by his b***s.” Posting a video on Instagram, actor Vijay Varma wrote, “At least, protect our protectors.” Actor Ayushmann Khurrana penned a heart-wrenching poem on women’s safety.
On Wednesday, Ayushmann took to his Instagram account and posted a video where he recited a poem. He reflected the agony and fear that women go through in today’s society. Part of his poem read, “Main bhi bina Kundi lagakar soti, Kaash main bhi ladka hoti, Jhalli banke daudti udti, Saari raat doston ke saath phirti, Kaash main bhi ladka hoti.” (I would sleep without locking the door, I wish I were a boy. Carefree, I would run and fly, Roaming with friends all night, I wish I were a boy.)”.
What happened in Kolkata
The body of the post-graduate trainee doctor was found in the seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata on August 9. The family has leveled allegations against the victim that she was raped and murdered. It is a strong demonstration of solidarity as doctors across the country are continuing to protest, demanding justice for the victim.
