Sourav Ganguly joins candlelight protest against Kolkata doctor's rape-murder

Ganguly, who did not speak to the media, was seen lighting candles after finishing the rally.

"We are protesting against the rape. It's not only West Bengal. Every day we get news that someone or the other from somewhere is getting raped and that is not good news. We need a safe society for every individual," Dona said, news agency PTI reported.

According to the PTI report, Ganguly, also a former Indian cricket board president, led the march in which several students participated.

Ganguly was supposed to participate in a rally organised by sportspersons from the city. However, he could not since he did not get permission from the administration.

Medical Dialogues team had earlier reported that the inquest report prepared by the police recorded bleeding from both the eyes and her mouth, injury on the face and nails, bleeding from her genitals, and several other injury marks in different parts of the body.

The body of a post-graduate trainee doctor was found in the seminar room of the RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata on August 9. The police arrested a civic volunteer the next day in this connection.

The Calcutta High Court later handed over the investigation to the CBI.
