“The semi-nude body of the 31-year-old woman post-graduate trainee doctor, who was raped and murdered inside a seminar hall of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, was found on August 9 morning”

My mind was blank and goosebumps erupted all over my body. How? Why? 

I didn’t know the answer to these questions. I didn’t know about this world at all now. 

Tears are streaming down my face, relentless and unstoppable. My mind replayed this scene again and again. Suddenly, I could not feel anything but suffocation. Suffocation of living in a country like this. My breath hitched, I could not breathe properly.

Panic ejected in my body, And that’s the last thing I felt before I went blank.
