A lawyer sought compensation to the tune of ₹1 crore to the family members of 23-year-old house surgeon, Dr. Vandana Das, who was brutally murdered by an injured man brought to the hospital by the police.
The petitioner has sought for guidelines to be issued by the Court to provide security to doctors, nurses, and other staff in hospitals across the State.
The Kerala HC underlined that the ongoing protests by doctors across the state are out of their fear and lack of safety, and insisted that the Kerala government handle it with composure.
Despite two police officials being injured in the incident which took place around 4.30 early in the morning, the police FIR mentions that it was only at 8.15 am that they were intimated about it.
