"Hospitals and clinics across India have begun turning away patients except for emergency cases as medical professionals started a 24-hour shutdown in protest against the rape and murder of a doctor in Kolkata."
"A 31-year-old trainee doctor was raped and murdered last week inside a medical college in Kolkata where she worked, triggering nationwide protests among doctors and drawing parallels to the notorious gang-rape and murder of a 23-year-old student on a moving bus in New Delhi in 2012."
"Mamata Banerjee, the chief minister of West Bengal, which includes Kolkata, has backed the protests across the state, demanding the investigation be fast-tracked and the guilty punished in the strongest way possible."
"Dr Sandip Saha, a private paediatrician in the city, told Reuters that he would not attend to patients except in emergencies."
