Actor and former TMC MP Mimi Chakraborty on Tuesday said she took part in the protest against the rape and murder of 31-year-old doctor in Kolkata and now she is receiving rape and death threats on social media. Mimi Chakraborty along with other actors including Riddhi Sen, Arindam Sil, and Madhumita Sarcar took part in a protest held in Kolkata against the RG Kar MCH incident on the night of August 14.
Mimi took to the microblogging site X and shared some screenshots of “threatening” comments on her Instagram post. She wrote, “And we are demanding justice for women right? These are just few of them. Where rape threats has been normalised by venomous men masking themselves in the crowd saying they stand by women. What upbringing and education permits this????”
Mimi Chakraborty was MP from the Jadavpur Lok Sabha constituency from 2019 to 2024.
Women in Kolkata and several major towns and districts of West Bengal took to the streets around midnight to hold agitations and protest rallies demanding justice for the 31-year-old doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Protesters in Kolkata gathered outside RG Kar Medical College and Hospital at 11:55 pm on August 14. The movement was named “Women, reclaim the night”.
