Thousands of Indian women have taken to the streets in West Bengal in a midnight protest against the brutal rape and murder last week of a young female doctor in Kolkata. Demonstrations also took place in other Indian cities including Delhi. Protests and strikes by medical staff have been fuelled by anger over the initial handling of the case, with accusations of an attempted cover-up by the local authorities.
