The doctors of Jaunpur Medical College affected the OPD for two hours in the morning, after which the patients had to return.
The protesting doctors and students, carrying banners and posters, raised slogans against the Bengal government and demanded justice with the chant of “Give justice, give justice”. They said that the culprits should be arrested as soon as possible and given strict punishment so that such incidents do not recur. The students marched on foot from the main gate of the college to the OPD and the administrative building, which lasted for about an hour. The anger and resentment of the students was clearly visible.
The medical students said that the safety of students of prestigious institutions like medical may be in danger. The situation of safety of women at other places would be even more worrying.

They said that the government should take strict action soon, so that the victim and her family can get justice.
