<keyword id="19914403" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Shimla" source="keywords">Shimla</keyword>: A silent candle march was taken out at midnight on Monday by a group of people here at The Ridge to demand justice for the Kolkata doctor who was allegedly raped and murdered. Besides seeking capital punishment for the accused, the peaceful and symbolic demonstration aimed to raise awareness in society and reclaim public places. People from diverse backgrounds, under the banner of <keyword id="22844903" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Shimla-Collectives" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Shimla Collectives" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Shimla Collectives">Shimla Collectives</keyword>, came out with candles to demand "capital punishment for the accused, quick delivery of justice and martyr status for the victim". "Capital punishment and speedy justice are the only deterrent to crimes like rape. We are here at this hour to reclaim public places and make them safe for women irrespective of whether it is day or night," former deputy mayor of Shimla Municipal Corporation (SMC) Tikender Panwar told PTI. "It is not a crime against a doctor or a woman but a crime against humanity. Many people blame the victim's clothes as one of the reasons behind such brutal acts but in this case, a resident doctor was raped and murdered at her workplace," Swati Sharma, a doctor, said. "Are we safe at night, can I roam at night safely without causing concern to my parents, I do not think so and we want things to change this time," Saina Malhotra, who joined the candle march, said. "The march has been organised on the festival of <keyword id="20225310" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Raksha-Bandhan" source="keywords">Raksha Bandhan</keyword> when we tie a thread on the wrist of our brothers for protection. On this day, I would like to call upon all the men in the country to protect every woman because she is someone's sister and daughter, so respect every woman," she added. Umang, a sitting councillor of the SMC, said that the people have come with a hope that the mindset can be changed. "All of us are here at midnight to give a message that Shimla is still a place where women can move freely even at midnight and would request our brothers to support us to make our country safer for women," she said. Lalita Ahuja, an elderly woman, urged parents to inculcate good values in their children and said that it is now time to have rigid laws such as in Dubai to ensure the safety of women in the country. Besides justice, the demonstrators also sought "martyr status" for the victim who had worked 36 hours before the incident. On August 9, the body of the postgraduate trainee doctor was found in the seminar hall of the state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. A civic volunteer was arrested in connection with the crime the next day. Later, the Calcutta High Court handed over the case to the CBI.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Marvel actor <a href="https://www.insider.com/marvels-jonathan-majors-blames-nypd-racism-for-domestic-violence-bust-2023-5">Jonathan Majors</a> has asked a Manhattan judge to drop his misdemeanor domestic-assault case.</li><li>He says the DA 'hid' sidewalk video showing his ex "unharmed" minutes after he allegedly hit her.</li></ul>Lawyers for Marvel star Jonathan Majors have sent the judge in his Manhattan domestic-violence case new video they say shows his ex-girlfriend "unharmed" just eight minutes after he allegedly hit her.The sidewalk security camera video – obtained by Insider and described as significant by Majors' legal team – offers the clearest images yet of accuser Grace Jabbari soon after she and the "Kang the Conqueror" actor fought on a Chinatown street corner back in March.The clip shows the sobbing, pacing woman using her right hand to hold a cell phone, to put on and take off a heavy coat, and to pull her long hair in and out of a bun. This, despite the fractured middle finger prosecutors allege Majors had just caused her by twisting that hand.Majors is also accused of slapping Jabbari in the head hard enough to cut and bloody her ear, but no such injury is evident in the new video, which captured her conversation with a trio of strangers outside a SoHo luxury condo building.<iframe src="https://cdn.jwplayer.com/players/3E5C4F4S-sVNJtny9.html" width="100%" height="100%" style="position:absolute;" title="New video shows accuser of Marvel actor Jonathan Majors seemingly uninjured"></iframe>The video is a key exhibit in the defense lawyers' latest effort to get the career-threatening misdemeanor case thrown out of court, this time on the argument that prosecutors allegedly "hid" evidence that helps clear the Disney actor.Rather than flagging the video, as state evidence law requires, prosecutors "sat on this video for almost four months and then buried it in over two terabytes of discovery" turned over only last month, defense lawyer Priya Chaudhry said in her request that the case be thrown out.Jabbari, 30, is a London-based movement coach who met Majors, 33, on the set of this year's "<a href="https://www.insider.com/ant-man-and-the-wasp-quantumania-review-kang-fun-clunky-2023-2">Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania</a>."She can be heard in the March 25 video telling the three strangers that she is Majors' girlfriend – "No way!" one of the men responds – and that she'd left her phone and purse in their car after they fought and the actor "ran off.""Ms. Jabbari was not only completely unharmed but was describing what had just happened by repeatedly insisting that Mr. Majors had texts from another woman on his phone, and making no reference to suffering physical violence of any sort," Chaudhry said in her court papers.Majors makes a brief appearance at the end of the clip, as the trio offers Jabbari cab money and the use of their cell phones.It's a non-speaking cameo. Majors, who is himself looking for the driver, says nothing as he walks past the group on the sidewalk, ignoring Jabbari as she asks, "Where's my bag? It was in the car!" The clip ends with Jabbari and the three strangers following Majors out of the shot.Before parting ways for the night, Jabbari and Majors would fight for another five minutes, though always in the presence of security cameras and eyewitnesses, including the three strangers and the driver, the defense says.At no point in those final five minutes did Majors strike Jabbari, Chaudhry says the prosecution evidence shows.Instead, "video shows Ms. Jabbari wildly grabbing and clawing at him, ripping off his coat buttons and tearing his coat pocket in the process," leaving the actor with scratches on his arm and face, the lawyer says in her papers.Jabbari then left with the three strangers for two hours of drinking and dancing at Loosie's Nightclub, in the lower levels of the Moxy hotel on the Bowery in Lower Manhattan.Additional video newly filed by Majors' lawyer singles out one moment showing Jabbari "being led and twirled, ballroom dance-style, by her supposedly broken finger" as she dances with a man at the club, Chaudhry wrote. <iframe src="https://cdn.jwplayer.com/players/y99hZ07H-sVNJtny9.html" width="100%" height="100%" style="position:absolute;" title="Video shows Grace Jabbari dancing two hours after assault claim against Jonathan Majors"></iframe>Prosecutors failed to flag still more evidence favorable to Majors, the lawyer alleges, including statements made by the driver who witnessed the couple's midnight fight as, over the course of 20 minutes, it repeatedly spilled in and out of his hired car and onto the streets of Chinatown and SoHo.The driver told prosecutors, "that Ms. Jabbari was the obvious aggressor in the altercation with Mr. Majors," and "went so far as to characterize Ms. Jabbari as 'psycho girl,'" in speaking with prosecutors, Chaudhry says in her 23-page <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23977047-jonathan-majors-speedy-trial-motion-120923" target="_blank" rel="noopener">motion to dismiss the case</a>.Prosecutors also waited until only a month ago to interview the Bellevue Hospital ER physician who, early the next afternoon, treated Jabbari's broken finger and cut ear, Chaudhry said in her filing. Majors contends that Jabbari had sustained those injuries not while fighting with him, but in a drunken fall after returning alone to his three-story penthouse apartment.The physician, Dr. William K. Chiang, supports that scenario. He told prosecutors that "a fracture like the one Ms. Jabbari sustained on her finger is commonly found in patients who had direct trauma, usually found from hitting an object or from falling," Assistant District Attorney Kelli Galaway told the defense in a newly-public August 18 email.Prosecutors allege Majors broke Jabbari's finger while trying to pry his cell phone out of her hand. But, "when asked if the fracture was consistent with pulling, grabbing, or twisting a hand or finger, Dr. Chiang stated it was medically possible but uncommon," the prosecutor told defense lawyers in the email.In another key revelation from Majors' bid to have the case dismissed, the defense is alleging that Manhattan prosecutors tried, and failed, to get the NYPD to drop <a href="https://www.insider.com/marvels-jonathan-majors-files-nypd-complaint-against-assault-accuser-sources-2023-6">a cross-complaint that Majors filed in June against Jabbari.</a><div type="image" title="A defense evidence photo, taken by Jonathan Majors two hours after he says his domestic violence accuser, Grace Jabbari, scratched his face in a fight in NYC." height="1068" width="1802" msid="103671834" hostid="261"></div>Police in two precincts have agreed that <a href="https://www.insider.com/ex-girlfriend-of-marvel-kang-actor-jonathan-majors-wanted-nypd-2023-6">there is probable cause for arresting Jabbari </a> for allegedly slapping and scratching Majors on the street, then running up his credit card and stealing valuables from his penthouse while he was under arrest.But prosecutors tried to convince a 10th Precinct detective not to arrest Jabbari when she returns to the US, an effort the detective rebuffed, Chaudhry alleged in <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/23977242-jonathan-majors-defense-letter-to-dany-12092023" target="_blank" rel="noopener">an August 21 letter to the case prosecutor</a>, Galaway, that is also part of the recent defense filings. The detective is still "attempting to organize her surrender with her representatives," Chaudhry says in her filings.<div type="image" title="This Jonathan Majors defense exhibit shows scratches he alleges were from his domestic-violence accuser, Grace Jabbari." height="1014" width="1842" msid="103671836" hostid="261"></div>It was jealousy that set Jabbari off, Chaudhry alleges in her filings, which give the most detailed and jarring account yet of Majors' narrative of that night."Whipped up by the six alcoholic drinks she had consumed that night, she immediately flew into a savage rage" in the car, after seeing a text on Majors' phone "that she believed showed him to be unfaithful," Chaudhry writes of Jabbari.By 3:30 a.m., security video shows Jabbari arriving by taxi back at Majors' empty triplex penthouse – he had left at 1 a.m. to sleep at the Mark Hotel on the Upper East Side, the lawyer says. Lobby and elevator security footage indicates no apparent discomfort, marks, or bleeding.In the apartment, "she attempted to call him no less than thirty-two times, sent him imploring text messages begging for him to call, then switched angry and jealous text messages (about his purported infidelity) and then, when these tactics proved fruitless, she dropped the ultimate bomb and threatened suicide just before 8:00 a.m.," Chaudhry writes.At 8 a.m., Jabbari reached out to a friend in England, "sending photos of her new injuries and confessing that she did not know how she hurt herself," the new filing reveals. Jabbari also admitted she'd been "really scrappy" with Majors during their earlier fight, the new evidence cited by Chaudhry reveals.At 9 a.m., "Mr. Majors awoke to find his face stuck to the hotel pillow with dried blood from the large gash delivered by Ms. Jabbari's fingernails in the car," the lawyer writes.<div type="image" title="This defense exhibit in actor Jonathan Majors' NYC domestic assault case shows what he alleges is dried blood from a scratch to the face by accuser Grace Jabbari." height="818" width="1426" msid="103671838" hostid="261"></div>Concerned to see her messages, Majors returned home to his penthouse at 10:30 a.m. "What Mr. Majors found in his apartment spun his concern into complete panic: a deliberately-placed sentimental photograph, a lit candle, intentionally-stacked romantic items, a locked bedroom door, closed bedroom curtains, and no answer to his phone calls, calling her name, or loud knocks on the door," Chaudhry's filing says. Within seconds of a building staffer forcing open the locked bedroom door, and finding Jabbari unconscious on the floor of the walk-in closet, "Mr. Majors called 911 and the first terrified words out of his mouth were 'attempted suicide,'" the filing says.Previous defense filings have noted police found a spilled bottle of sleeping pills in the bedroom, and vomit on the bed. Majors was arrested by arriving NYPD officers, who believed that the actor had caused Jabbari's hand and head injuries.Majors, who faces up to a year in jail if convicted, is scheduled to appear via video at his next court hearing, Friday, during which a trial date may be set. A lawyer for Jabbari did not immediately return a call requesting comment on the new filings. A spokesperson for the DA's office told Insider, "We will respond in court filings." Chaudhry declined comment. Video for this story was produced by Havovi Cooper and Tyler Merkel. This story was updated to include a response from the Manhattan DA's office.
