Former Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh has taken a strong stand against the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Hospital in West Bengal, which occurred on August 9. In a heartfelt two-page letter addressed to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, Singh expressed his profound concern over the delay in delivering justice and urged for immediate action.
The incident has sparked nationwide outrage and protests, particularly among the medical community, who have voiced their distress over the lack of safety measures for healthcare workers and women. Singh’s letter underscores the gravity of the crime, describing it as not only an assault on the individual victim but also a severe violation of the dignity and safety of all women in society.

“This horrific crime has not only deeply affected everyone but also attacks the safety and dignity of all women in our society. It highlights serious problems within our society and shows the urgent need for change and action from the authorities,” Harbhajan Singh wrote.
He also expressed solidarity with the protesting medical community, highlighting their challenging working conditions and the added danger they now face. “The medical community is already facing tough conditions. How can we expect them to do their jobs well when their safety is so seriously at risk?” Singh added.
The former cricketer’s intervention reflects growing public frustration and a call for urgent reforms to ensure the safety and security of healthcare workers and women across India.
