Aug 15, 2024
Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 15 : The tragic incident involving the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at a medical college in Kolkata has left the nation in shock and grief.
In response to the tragedy, Bollywood actor Hrithik Roshan expressed his deep anger and concern on social media.
On his X account, Roshan wrote, "Yes we need to evolve into a society where we ALL feel equally safe. But that is going to take decades. It's going to hopefully happen with sensitizing and empowering our sons and daughters. The next generations will be better."
"We will get there. Eventually. But what in the interim ? Right now justice would be to put a hard stop to such atrocities. And the only way to do that is a punishment so harsh that it scares the living daylights out of such perpetrators. That's what we need. Perhaps ? I stand with the victim's family in seeking justice for their daughter and I stand with all the Doctors that were attacked last night," his post further read.
