In response to a series of violent incidents against women in Maharashtra and West Bengal, significant protests erupted across both states. The Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) organized a march in Pune to highlight women's safety, coinciding with a statewide shutdown to protest a recent sexual assault incident in Badlapur. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) led demonstrations in West Bengal following the alleged rape and murder of a female doctor, with protests occurring at various locations including Kolkata and Kharibari. Activists, including dance institution students led by Dona Ganguly, joined the movement, emphasizing the need for societal change to ensure women's safety. The BJP has accused the state government of attempting to conceal the truth surrounding the doctor's murder, prompting calls for justice and accountability. These protests reflect a growing public outrage against violence towards women, highlighting a critical demand for change in societal attitudes and legal responses.
