Nurses of KEM Hospital in Parel, Mumbai, remembered their colleague Aruna Shanbaug, who remained in coma for 42 years after sexual assault when she was 25 and died in the hospital on May 18.

Since the morning, scores of nurses visited the tiny room No 4 in the hospital which was Shanbaug's home as she lay there for over four decades - deserted by her family and relatives, but cared lovingly by the nurses of the hospital. They put flowers, symbolically cut cake, and greeted one another.
