“If the #Nirbhaya case has not made an impact and this brutal atrocity continues, then what HARD steps must be taken to put the fear of God into the perpetuators? My heart goes out to the victim’s family. We can’t do anything. do or say will ever ease the pain of this tragedy for the rest of my life,” the actor wrote.

Fellow actors Alia Bhatt and Kareena Kapoor Khan also spoke, with Kapoor Khan highlighting the current issue of violence against women. “12 years later; same story; same protest. But still waiting for change,” Kareena wrote.

Alia Bhatt noted the slow progress in improving women’s safety since the Nirbhaya case. “Another brutal rape. Another day of awareness that women are not safe, anywhere. Another horrific atrocity to remind us that over a decade has passed since the Nirbhaya tragedy, but still nothing has changed,” she posted.

In response, doctors in India protested on Saturday, demanding justice for the victim. Protests took place in cities including Kolkata, Guwahati, Hyderabad and Mumbai, with protesters holding placards reading ‘Justice must be served’, ‘No debt without security’ and ‘Justice delayed is justice denied’.
