Alia Bhatt expressed her anger

Another heartbreaking incident, to remind us that more than a decade has passed (since the Nirbhaya rape case) but nothing has changed even today". In this post, Alia has expressed her anger towards this incident and has requested to pay attention to the safety of women.

Hrithik Roshan wrote this while tweeting

Hrithik Roshan tweeted, "Yes, we need to evolve into a society where we all feel equally safe. But that will take decades. Hopefully, this will be possible only by sensitizing and empowering our sons and daughters. The next generations will be better. We will get there. Eventually. But what about in the meantime? Right now, justice must come to a scathing end to such atrocities. And the only way to do that is to give punishment that is so severe that it instills fear in such criminals. That's what we need. Maybe? I stand with the victim's family in demanding justice for their daughter and I stand with all the doctors who were attacked last night."

Kriti Sanon pleaded for justice

Kriti Sanon shared a post on Instagram on Thursday, August 15, 2024, writing, "While we celebrate our 78th year of Independence and feel proud of how far we as a country have come on a global stage, it breaks my heart to see that women are still not safe in their own country. People who commit these inhumane acts have absolutely no fear. And even today, the woman is being blamed for being the victim. Until justice is swift, punishment is harsh and most importantly, better upbringing is in place, nothing will change. Are we really free when our basic safety is in question??" She captioned the post, "Heavy heart and angry soul. Didn't feel like wishing you on Independence Day today."

Parineeti Chopra expressed her pain

Parineeti Chopra's powerful Instagram post described the brutality of the attack with utmost honesty. She wrote, "If this is too hard for you to read, imagine how hard it must have been for her. Disgusting. Horrible. Hang him."

Ayushmann Khurrana shared an emotional poem

Ayushmann Khurrana's emotional poem, "Kaash Main Bhi Ladka Hoti", highlights the deep inequality faced by women in India. The actor's video, widely shared on social media, has sparked a powerful conversation about gender-based violence.

Kangana Ranaut demanded CBI

Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut took to her Instagram handle and demanded that the CBI should intervene in the case. "The murder of a trainee female doctor at Kolkata's government RG Kar Medical College and Hospital is horrific and horrific. The semi-nude body of the female post-graduate trainee doctor was found inside the seminar hall on Friday morning. She was brutally murdered and had multiple injury marks on her body. The preliminary post-mortem report has indicated sexual assault before her murder. I hope the case is handed over to the CBI for a thorough investigation and the attacker is given the harshest punishment." 

Genelia D'Souza shared the post

Genelia D'Souza wrote on her ex-account, "The monsters must be hanged!!! My soul shivers reading what the victim has gone through. A woman, a lifeguard on duty, had to face this horror in a seminar hall. My heart goes out to the family and her loved ones. I can't even imagine how they must be coping with this tragedy."

Preity Zinta appeals for women's safety

Preity Zinta's passionate appeal to prioritise women's safety highlights the systemic failures that allow such atrocities to continue. She called for unity among women to demand strict punishment, accountability of those responsible and change. “It is time for the government to prioritise women's safety. It is shocking and disgusting to see that the rapist's face is hidden/covered at the time of arrest, while the names and faces of victims of rape and violent sexual crime are leaked to the media. Justice is never swift, punishments are never harsh and people are never held accountable.” 

Richa Chadha demanded justice for the victim

Richa Chadha also added her voice to the growing chorus of outrage, demanding justice for the victim and systemic reforms to prevent such tragedies from happening again. Richa, on her @X handle, urged West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to ensure justice for the victim. She tweeted, "Women of this country expect a fair investigation and speedy justice from you @MamataOfficial. You are the only woman to currently hold the post of Chief Minister. #JusticeForMoumita."

Navya Naveli Nanda shared the message

Navya Naveli Nanda shared a message. The Instagram post reads, "Another horrific rape has happened in front of our eyes. First and foremost, let us pray for her and her family. Women have always played a very important role in the development of our country. The workplace, classroom and home should be an enabling and safe space for us. Men and women need to unite against mindsets and belief systems that constantly objectify women or consider them easy prey." "Where we go out at night or what we wear is not an indication of how we have the right to live our lives. And for that, we should not live in constant fear or threat. While nothing can compensate for the pain and suffering that the doctor suffered that day, we need to take concrete steps to ensure that this never happens again. Whether it is enforcing strict laws or creating safety protocols - immediate steps must be taken. We deserve better than this. We will continue to fight for better. Because nothing and no one can ever take away the freedom and dignity of women."
