Karan wrote that the case reflects the biggest failure of our country. He emphasized that it is ironic for the citizens of the country to be celebrating 78 years of independence while women in an independent nation are still not free. He wrote, “For the last few days I have been trying to express my thoughts on this crime… the biggest human failure to protect women… I still have no words… no written word can describe this atrocity… words matter but actions and the authorities understanding the fact that if justice is not strictly done, it will be the end of us.”

Veteran actor Anupam Kher recently shared a video on Instagram demanding justice in the case. He explained how the victim was the only daughter of the family and the country failed to protect her. The actor demanded public capital punishment for the rapist and said “The only punishment for this is death, there is no other punishment.”

The actor wrote, “Raise your voice!! Raise your voice at all costs! Raise your voice against the heinous, soul-stirring, and eternally shameful crime that has been committed against the Kolkata doctor girl.” Let us tell you that on Friday, August 9, a resident doctor was raped and then strangled to death at the government RG Hospital in Kolkata. She was found naked and had several injuries on her body. After this incident, doctors and various hospitals protested across the country.
