Kolkata Rape-Murder Case: The brutal rape and killing of a trainee doctor at  RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata has sent the entire nation into an outrage.

John Abraham warns boys to correct their behaviour

John Abraham is known to not mince his words in raging current issues. The Kolkata horror is no exception. The Vedaa actor, in a new interview, has issued a stern warning against the boys and has gone on to say he would take matters into his own hands if need be. 

 

In a conversation with Radio City, the actor, who was last seen in Vedaa, spoke about the message he would give out to the youth in the context of women's safety concerns and rising cases of horrifying crime against women. He claimed, “I’ll tell the boys to behave, otherwise I’ll tear them apart,” He emphasised that such cases only imply that the society has failed to raise its boys correctly. He added, "Honestly, I just expect a better upbringing, on a serious note." He went on to clarify "And I wouldn’t tell girls anything, because unki kya galti hai [what is their fault]? I think parents have to tell boys to behave. More power to the girls." 

Vivek Agnihotri joins the protest demanding justice for Abhaya 

On August 21, filmmaker Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri, who joined the protest rally against the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, expressed his outrage. Speaking to ANI on Wednesday, he shared his feelings on the incident. He said, “My demand is just this that since the time of the Direct Action Day, rape has been used as a political weapon. In Bengal, communal, political, and electoral violence should end. And we have to make Bengal great again. And that is possible only if the current political system is completely changed.”
 

On August 9, a postgraduate trainee doctor was allegedly raped and murdered on duty at RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata, which has led to nationwide strikes and civil societies and doctors across States protested against the incident and demanded severe punishment to the accused persons and sought safety and security for themselves.
