During a marathon 36-hour-shift at a government hospital in India's east, a young female trainee doctor ducked off for a quick sleep.
WARNING: The details in this story might be distressing to some readers.
According to her colleagues, she headed to an empty seminar room used by on-duty doctors to rest.
There, she was brutally raped and murdered.
The 31-year-old's death while at work at the Kolkata R. G. Kar Medical College on August 9 has ignited a furore across India.
Tens of thousands of people have marched through the streets across the country during the past two weeks, calling for justice for the victim and a radical reshaping of attitudes towards women.
More than a million doctors are estimated to have gone on strike, and the country's highest court has ordered a national taskforce be set up to improve workplace safety in hospitals.
But awful crimes like this aren't uncommon in India.
An ABC analysis of government crime data shows in 2022 a woman was raped on average every 17 minutes.
Many cases go unreported in the media. Most don't result in any sort of punishment.
A quick scan of local media shows coverage of dozens of rape incidents in the past month alone.
So, in a country infamous for sexual attacks on women, why has this particular case garnered so much attention?
'Another incident? Again?'
Anti-rape activist Yogita Bhayana says the answer is simple: the victim was a doctor.
"That is a trigger point," Ms Bhayana, who runs the organisation People Against Rapes in India, told the ABC.
"The reason there is so much outrage is because [a hospital] is supposed to be the safest place.
"It gives me jitters that in a public facility like a hospital where she was serving others and continuously working for many, many hours, this is her fate.
"It's beyond disgusting. Where can we call a safe place for women in this country?"
Amisha Maroo, a 24-year-old second-year resident at a government training hospital in New Delhi, is one of thousands of doctors who suspended non-emergency work at their hospital and joined the protests.
She said abuse of female doctors is common in India.
"Honestly, I was like, 'Another incident? Again?'" she said.
"Women are now empowered [to work] in every workplace, be scientists, doctors, but still common people and citizens are not able to respect that."
She said the Kolkata incident has made her question the government's interest in safe and secure workplaces.
"A lawyer should be safe in court. A police officer should be safe in his own police station. Likewise, a doctor should be at least safe in the workplace where he or she is working," she said.
"That is the basic right we can expect from a government."
That expectation is also held by the country's highest court.
On Tuesday, the Supreme Court ordered a national taskforce be set up to improve safety standards in hospitals, suggesting things like separate resting rooms for female staff and better CCTV coverage.
"If women cannot go to a place of work and be safe, then we are denying the basic conditions of equality," Chief Justice D Y Chandrachud said.
Will there be justice?
Government data shows between 2017 and 2022 there were 189,000 reported rape cases in India.
More than 31,000 rapes of women or girls were reported in 2022 alone.
However, the conviction rate remains low, hovering between 27 and 28 per cent from 2018 to 2022.
Senior supreme court lawyer and human rights activist Vrinda Grover said the danger against a woman who has been assaulted can often intensify after the crime has been committed.
"Many women drop out [of pursuing justice] because there is so much threat and intimidation," Ms Grover told the ABC.
"We've had cases where a woman going to court has been kidnapped, she has been burned to death because the people who have committed the rape are so powerful, socially and politically.
"Why should a woman have to pay with her life because she has filed a complaint?"
Rape causing death can be a capital punishment offence in India.
Those convicted may be hanged, or jailed for 20 years to life.
India's last hanging was in 2020, when four adult men convicted of gang raping and murdering a 23-year-old physiotherapy student on a bus in Delhi in 2012 were executed.
Days after the Kolkata incident, the Chief Minister of West Bengal – where the crime occurred – led a rally demanding the person or people responsible for the doctor's death be hanged within the week.
Ms Grover said she has "never heard a more odd thing".
"There is an entire trial to be conducted," she said.
"There is a presumption of innocence enshrined in the Indian constitution for every accused, including a rapist."
In any case, those convicted of rape causing murder are not automatically given the death penalty; that's reserved for cases deemed "rarest of the rare" by a court.
Ms Bhayana from People Against Rapes in India said the attention on the Kolkata case would hopefully lead to a more severe punishment for those responsible, but lamented the huge number of victims who don't ever get justice.
"[Judges] go by the outrage, unfortunately, they don't go by the merits," she said.
"This case might get justice, but unfortunately, not many cases get justice in this country.
"It can't turn into outrage every time because there is no backing, there is no support."
Ms Grover, who assisted the trial court regarding the sentencing of the Delhi gang rapists to death, said India's sexual assault statistics are a "perfect example" of capital punishment not deterring would-be criminals.
"Four men were hanged in March 2020. Who did it deter?" she asked.
"The Kolkata horrible, horrific incident reminds us of the same thing."
She accused governments of using inflammatory calls for "the spectacle" of the death sentence to divert attention away from possible failures to provide safe workplaces or contribute to meaningful change in attitudes towards women.
Where's the investigation at?
A police volunteer stationed within the hospital has been arrested and charged with rape and murder.
However, the victim's family alleges it was gang rape and more than one person was involved.
An autopsy has confirmed sexual assault.
Days after the incident, Kolkata's High Court criticised local police for their handling of the investigation and transferred the case to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), India's federal crime investigation agency.
Yesterday, the CBI submitted a status report on its investigation to the Supreme Court.
The government of West Bengal also submitted an update on its investigation into a mob attack on the hospital last week.
The Supreme Court again urged striking doctors to return to work, after making the same request on Tuesday.
But many are still refusing to provide anything other than emergency care.
Resident doctors at the Kolkata hospital issued a statement on Tuesday night asking for Indians' "unwavering support and solidarity" as they strike for "the safety, dignity, and rights of every medical professional in our country".
The incident has deeply impacted 26-year-old Tabinda Farooq, who works at a remote hospital in northern India.
She hoped the inconvenience of the protests would lead to change.
"If the hospitals will be shut for a day, it's going to blow out the whole nation," Dr Farooq said.
"This is the way we can fight for it and get justice.
"After God's will, it's doctors who heal people and send them back home happy and healthy."
The case highlights the danger that all women face in India, and not just those in professional roles, according to women's studies academic Deeplina Banerjee, from Western University in Ontario.
"Growing up, we have been told that the honour of the family rests with us in our bodies.
"So if anything is to happen to that honour, if we are violated by perpetrators who are men, who are violent, then the blame is on us.
"What we are seeing really is the tip of the iceberg. The problem is far more entrenched and deep-rooted."
