Sourav Ganguly joins candlelight protest against Kolkata doctor's rape-murder
Kolkata: Amid a nationwide protest against the brutal rape and murder of a postgraduate medico at R G Kar Medical College Hospital in Kolkata, former Indian cricket captain Sourav Ganguly on Wednesday participated in a candlelight protest demanding justice for the doctor.
His wife, Odissi dancer Dona Ganguly and daughter Sana, accompanied him in the rally taken out in the evening in Behala area where they reside.
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.

Her daughter Sana said, "In our society, we all are equal. The protests must go on. She (the victim) must get justice."
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.
