Indian police have charged a man for the rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor which sparked wide-scale protests throughout the country.
Protests erupted in West Bengal in August to demand justice after the doctor's body was found with multiple injuries in a lecture hall in Kolkata's state-run R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital. Authorities at the time said the woman had gone to the lecture hall to rest during a night shift when she was attacked.
An autopsy confirmed the doctor was sexually assaulted and attacked before she died. It also suggested she resisted and may have been tortured before being murdered.
