When will you announce your protest against the Kolkata police who tried to wrap up the case by claiming it was suicide? And, why don't you, the so-called feminists, give even a small reprimand against the principal of Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital who blames the victim?, " it questioned.
