Durga Puja holds a special place for singer Shaan as a Bengali. Every year, he releases a song to celebrate the festival. This time, however, he's created a single called "Durgatinashini," which is dedicated to the recent tragic case in Kolkata where a 31-year-old trainee doctor was raped and murdered at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

Singer Shaan releases song to honour Kolkata rape-murder victim

“The heinous incident, the angst of the common people, and so many doctors and students, specially women, taking the movement forward have impacted me strongly. While I feel their frustration and hopelessness, I also applaud the people who have relentlessly taken to this call for justice. This song was my way to give hope and reassurance that only Maa Durga invokes, to give solidarity to the movement and to the women, each of who is Durga in courage and righteousness - a Durgatinashini,” says Shaan, as per HT City.
