Randeep Hooda has addressed the concern of women’s safety following the ‘rape and murder’ of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The incident has hit Randeep ever closer home as he hails from a family of doctors, including his sister Anjali Hooda Sangwan.
Expressing his feelings, Randeep penned a note on social media saying, “Been speechless and distraught about the horror that seems to repeat itself in our society..coming from a family of doctors and my sister also being one just sends chills down my spine.. medical professionals need to be protected no doubt .. but the predators don’t see profession in seems.. it has to be a societal change not restricted to people who understand the language I write in and that’ll take time .. the first and immediate step could be swift and severe punishment given out … that punishment should be covered and propagated by the media/social media as much as the tragic incident itself if not more. Heinous crimes deserve even more heinous punishment. At this trying hour I stand with family and the medical fraternity for justice and my heart goes out to the girls family. Om Shanti!”
