This incident adds to the alarming trend of sexual violence in India, with recent data indicating over 31,000 rape cases reported across the nation in 2021. The persistent issue of women's safety continues to provoke widespread concern and demands for action.
The Dehradun case comes in the wake of a national outcry over women's safety, highlighted by the brutal rape and murder of a 31-year-old trainee doctor in Kolkata. The medic was found dead at a medical college on August 9, with her autopsy revealing she was raped before being murdered while on duty.
These incidents have sparked nationwide protests and strikes by the medical community, who are demanding justice for their colleague and advocating for a central law to ensure the safety of healthcare professionals. The ongoing demonstrations underscore the urgent need for systemic changes to protect women and vulnerable groups from such heinous crimes.
