USA, UK to Germany, outrage over RG Kar horror spreads in Bengali diaspora

In London, it started with a Facebook post. Doyel Chakraborty, a mental health worker, was perturbed after reading about the brutal rape and murder of the trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Calcutta. Doyel wanted to register her protest. Somehow. She thought of organizing a protest in Hounslow. “I posted on Facebook, and people from Kent and East London came; some travelled two hours just to be here,” she says.
