New Delhi: People are angry over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. New revelations are being made every day about the accused and the former principal of the hospital, Sandeep Ghosh. The CBI is investigating the case. The case is being heard in the Supreme Court today. The CBI has submitted a status report on this case in the Supreme Court today. Through this report, the court will be told how far the investigation has reached so far.
Along with this, the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) has demanded interim protection for doctors till the implementation of the recommendations of the National Task Force and has filed an application in the Supreme Court. Earlier on August 20, the Supreme Court Chief Justice DY Chandrachud led Justice JB Pardiwala and Justice Manoj Mishra heard the matter. The Supreme Court has also raised many questions regarding the Panchnama. The court said that if it was a natural death, then why was the post-mortem done? The FIR after the post-mortem is surprising.
In the status report presented in the Supreme Court, the CBI said that the attitude of the hospital administration regarding this entire case has been indifferent. The victim’s family was informed about the incident late. The family was first informed about the suicide. Trying to portray murder as suicide creates suspicion. An attempt was made to cover up the incident. The court also said that there is a difference between the time of the police diary and the post-mortem. The court has also raised questions on the medical examination of the accused.
In the status report presented in the Supreme Court, the CBI has said that the crime scene in Kolkata has been tampered with. An attempt was made to cover up the case. The FIR was filed after the funeral. During the hearing on the Kolkata case, senior advocate Tushar Mehta said that doctors are working for 36 hours a day. If the doctors get assurance of security from the court, they will be satisfied. They should be given a chance to present their case.
On this, CJI Chandrachud said that 36 to 48 hours duty of doctors is not right. We know that doctors are working for 36 hours. I myself have slept on the floor in a government hospital when a member of my family was ill. We have received a lot of emails stating that there is a lot of pressure on the doctors. The CJI said that if we start seeking representation from all stakeholders, it will not be possible to handle the matter properly.
