All politicians are responsible for this. Mamta as CM failed. BJP and congress is no different.

[goddessvibes]

Too many criminals walk freely in India. Why no punishment? Criminal land!

[arnabkumarsen]

Not a civic volunteer, some high profile people are behind it, he is just a scapegoat

[nanthagopalkandasamy]

Lack of Capital Punishment in our country. Very very agonizing 😢😢😢

[piu]

11 injuries, collarbone fracture, pelvic bone fracture, do you believe 1 single person can do so.... There are many more involved but the government is safeguarding those because they belong to some influential family.... Justice for the doctor girl....

[None-cfyp]

None of the bollywood celebrities too protested against this. Where are the role models who could bring the support for the protest further? Everyone just work for money!

[homely]

Madam.. Please fight for the issue.. As a journo.. As a mother.. As a woman.. As a human.. Please.. Follow the case from first.. She was gangraped.. She was tortured brutally.. Her parents were misled.. Her parents were not allowed to see their daughter for the last time

[lymfili]

Very disappointed with the Firstpost covering actual issue for only 1 minute 50 seconds and diverting entire video to infrastructure and other issues. Most importantly you should have covered how the law enforcement, public administration system is so broken as justise to the lady doctor has not been given even after many days. There was an attempt to show this case as suicide and evidences are being destroyed by breaking some constructions. This is how media is diluting the actual truths.

[zukzworld]

It is a shame for the country, a failure as a society.

[sathimazumder]

It is suspected that more than one are involved. And the accused is just a scapegoat.

[avantika]

If all lady doctors don't attend night duty public will b in trouble. Ensuring their safety is a priority bcs at the end, they r there in night for some patients. She lost her life for being there to save someone's life. Where this nation going to...

Corruption, corruption and corruption is the main problem. Crimes against women are not taken seriously with police being paid out by politicians who violate women. India is the most dangerous country for women.
These crimes take years or even decades in the court systems. Minor road accidents are processed by the courts using up resources. A simple fender bender might go through the courts for 5 years or more.
If India cant do this they should get experts from abroad like from Singapore or even Pakistan to sort this out.
What is the point of a space program when they cant protect the sisters and daughters of India?

[medico_goku]

All eyes on Rafah but no eyes on RgK, Kolkata ???? Do we Indians have any shame??

[honestperson]

It is not safe for women in any isolated place in India..Trains, Highways, Offices and even hospitals..some animals do wrong and shame the reputation of Men..

[msspookyeyes]

Kudos to Palki . The only journalist I have ever seen speak passionately in support of doctors.

[wrkinkg]

Indian women winning medals and bringing glory to India, some Indian men doing such horrible things and bringing shame for Bharat

[mihirsharma]

Its way more worst than Nirbhaya....one has arrested he is just a scapegoat, there many more powerful hands are there who were first trying to hide this case in the name of suicide, now they are misleading all the proofs and evidence....in which place we are living...its a shame, shame on mankind, shame on humanity
We want justice, we need answer when will our daughters, sisters will be freely independent 🙏

[souradipmandal]

No, no, no. Here is the problem, We are not understanding the actual gravity of this. That civic volunteer was only a scapegoat. There is no doubt about that. There is no way someone from outside who doesn't know about how it looks inside of the ward, how many guards are there, just all of a sudden went inside a seminar room for no reason that also crossing a ward in the way, seeing someone sleeping, rape and killed her that also within 30 mins and left without getting noticed. We can not be this much morons. This is utter nonsense

[madhurimabiswas]

The civic volunteer the police apprehended is only a scapegoat. True perpetrators are still at large.

[mohitmurmu]

India will never change because people will forget this in a month.from delhi nirbhaya, asifa in hindu temple, dalit victims in hathras, Hyderabad burning victim, spanish tourist case and now this. The list goes on and on.
