Kolkata Doctor's Rape & Murder : 

Supreme Court Slams West Bengal Police, Asks CISF To Provide Security To RG Kar Hospital 

 CJI Chandrachud: "....It is essential to create safe conditions for the doctors so as to return to their duties. So that they not only pursue their medical education but also administer medical care."  

The Supreme Court today (August 20) said that it was deeply concerned about the absence of conditions of safety for doctors and medical professionals across the country.  

CJI: it doesn't appear that 7000 people vandalized. 80-90 people did it 

Kapil Sibal, counsel for state government: "...we have the video".   

CJI: we request all the doctors who are abstaining from work across the country to resume the work at the earliest. Above all the abstention from work of doctors effects those segments of the society who need medical care the most from accessing day to day services.  

CJI Chandrachud also said: "The abstaining doctors and medical professionals stand assured that their concerns are receiving the highest concern from the Supreme Court of India. Besides their concerns are already being portrayed before this court by a diverse range of counsels

Supreme Court clarifies that it has listed the matter on August 22.   

The Supreme Court on Tuesday said to the Bengal government that the power of the state should not be "unleashed on the protesters" in connection with the rape and murder of a woman trainee doctor at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

"We will indicate our broad parameters of our intervention. Let not the power of state of West Bengal be unleashed on peaceful protesters. Whether doctors, or civil society, let there not be power of state be unleashed on them at all," Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud said.
