Preity Zinta breaks silence on justice for Kolkata rape case: “It’s time women’s safety is prioritized by the government”

Preity Zinta has joined the people in demanding justice for a 31-year-old trainee doctor who was raped and killed in Kolkata. Massive rallies have erupted around the country, demanding tighter rules to protect women.

Preity Zinta also sent a lengthy letter demanding justice for the victim. “The government should emphasize women’s safety. “We are the fifth-largest economy in the world. This election both male and female voter turnout was about 66% with women voters predicted to overtake the male voters in the next election. It’s time WOMEN’S SAFETY is PRIORITIZED by the government. It’s heartbreaking & disgusting to see a rapist’s face hidden/covered when arrested, while victims of rape & violent sexual crime have their names and faces leaked in the media. Justice is never swift, punishment is never severe & people are never held accountable.”

She further added, “So many women lose their dignity and their lives, and it never really matters, unless it happens to you.

It’s time ALL WOMEN STAND TOGETHER and make WOMEN’S SAFETY A POLITICAL ISSUE. It’s time people in charge don’t get transferred for covering up/badly handling a case of sexual violence, but lose their jobs instead.

As a woman, I want to say I’m sorry to Nirbhaya, to Moumita & to every girl that has been wronged. I’M SORRY I didn’t fight hard enough for you in the past. BUT NOT ANYMORE!

NONE OF US ARE SAFE UNTIL ALL OF US ARE SAFE!”

Sara Ali Khan wrote, “Justice for women.”

Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar wrote, “Still waiting on the day all women can be independent and safe” on a black background.

Amitabh Bachchan’s granddaughter Navya Naveli Nanda took to her Instagram and posted, “Yet another horrific rape has unfolded in front of our eyes. First and most importantly, let us pray for her and her family. Women have always played a very important role in the growth and developement of our country. The workplace, the classroom and the home mist be an enabling and safe space for us. Men and women need to unite against those mindsets and belief systems that continuously objectify women or think of them as easy prey.”

Mrunal Thakur shared a series of post on her Instagram stories, on her first post she wrote, “Her dad found her naked, lying motionless on the floor with a broken pelvic girdle, disfigured limbs and shattered pieces of glasses in her eyes, bleeding incessantly. Her plight in those final minutes is unimaginable. Her parents were denied any contact with her dead body for 3 hours after they reached the crime scene. 150 gm of semen was found in her body, one man can only have 15 gm. A scapegoat is in custody. Dean said she was psychotic. After the transfer to CBI, renovation work started in the hospital. At this point it’s not just a doctor issue anymore, it’s just inhumane. We keep unlocking lower levels of inhumanity year after year. Fools were those, who even hoped there would be reforms after the Nirbhaya case. It’s been 12 years. Nothing has changed. Saw some Instagram stories saying that it’s a crime to be a doctor in this country.”

The second post read, “Really sad and hurt to celebrate Aazadi.”

On August 9, a female post-graduate trainee (PGT) doctor’s body was discovered in a lecture hall at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. On Saturday, a community volunteer was arrested in connection with the event.

On Tuesday, the Calcutta High Court directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to take over the investigation into the trainee doctor’s alleged rape and murder from the Kolkata Police.
