“If #Nirbhaya case has not had an impact and this brutal atrocity continues, then what HARSH steps need to be taken to put the fear of God in the perpetuators? My heart goes out to the family of the victim. There is nothing we can do or say to ever ease the pain of this tragedy for the rest of their lives,” the actor wrote.
Fellow actors Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor Khan also spoke out, with Kapoor Khan highlighting the ongoing issue of violence against women. “12 years later; the same story; the same protest. But we are still waiting for change,” Kareena wrote.
Alia Bhatt noted the slow progress in improving women’s safety since the Nirbhaya case. “Another brutal rape. Another day of realisation that women are not safe, anywhere. Another horrific atrocity to remind us that it’s been over a decade since the Nirbhaya tragedy, but still nothing much has changed,” she posted.
In response, doctors across India protested on Saturday, demanding justice for the victim. Protests took place in cities like Kolkata, Guwahati, Hyderabad, and Mumbai, with demonstrators holding signs that read, “Justice needs to be served,” “No duty without security,” and “Justice delayed is Justice denied.”
