A 28-year-old Bangladeshi woman, Najma, was killed after being raped in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. In response to the tragic incident, the anti-discrimination student movement has called for a protest rally. The rally is set to begin in front of the Raju sculpture at Dhaka University (DU) at 3 pm on Saturday.
Najma's body was discovered near Kalkere Lake in Bengaluru's Ramamurthy area on Friday. Police found signs of rape on the victim’s body. Najma, who worked as a maid in a nearby apartment, had been living with her husband in the Ramakrishna area.
