In a conversation with The Telegraph, she revealed that she was agitated by a comment by the medical college's ex-principal Sandip Ghosh who had allegedly questioned why the junior had gone to the seminar hall alone.
“Such a comment, shifting the blame on the victim, cannot be accepted. In protest, I decided to spend the night of August 14 outdoors. No one can lay a claim on the night and dictate to us who can be outside and why,” she said while speaking to the newspaper.
Sinha also remarked that she was overwhelmed with the response which she got on her post.
“I am very overwhelmed by the entire response. I am seeing women coming out of their homes and even if they cannot stay for the entire night, they are making a decision to stay for two hours or three hours in the night,” News 18 quoted her as saying.
