In a harrowing event that shook the medical community and the nation to its core, a young pulmonary resident doctor in Kolkata was brutally raped and murdered while on duty at RG Kar Medical College. After working tirelessly for more than 30 hours, she sought a brief moment of rest in the seminar room-a place that should have been a sanctuary but instead became the site of an unspeakable crime.
