A night-long sit-in protest took place in Kolkata from Sunday evening until 4 am on Monday, seeking justice for a postgraduate doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered at a hospital last month. The rally, held over the Kolkata doctor rape-murder case in the Esplanade district, drew hundreds of people, including notable cinema stars and activists.

The demonstration started with a big assembly that marched from College Square in northern Kolkata to Esplanade, where protesters promised to stay all night to demand a prompt inquiry and the arrest of those involved for the horrible act. The sit-in was similar to the "Women Reclaim The Night" rally organised on August 14, which also sought justice for the doctor.
