NEW DELHI: Former Indian cricket team captain Sourav Ganguly has changed his social media profile pictures to black, joining thousands in solidarity with protests demanding justice for a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital who was brutally raped and murdered. The incident has sparked widespread outrage and an online campaign urging people to change their display pictures to black as a mark of protest.
Ganguly's action comes after comments he made about Kolkata’s security situation were met with controversy. He initially described the crime as an "isolated" incident, leading to a divided reaction on social media and accusations of downplaying the severity of the crime.
