Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt commented on the brutal rape and murder in an Instagram post, saying: "This horrific incident has once again reminded us that women disproportionately bear the weight of ensuring their own safety."
She said the protests — as have many others who have shared their thoughts on social media platforms — brought back memories of a similar case that sparked widespread outrage in 2012 when a student was raped and killed by a gang of men on a moving bus in New Delhi.
"It's been over a decade," Bhatt said, "but still nothing much has changed."
