India’s Supreme Court has restrained police from arresting three medical professionals, including two senior Catholic nuns, four months after they were charged with culpable homicide.
Doctor Sister Herman Joseph, nurse Sister Loraine Thayil and their colleague Sabeeha Ansari have been facing arrest following the death of a pregnant woman in their Catholic hospital in the central state of Madhya Pradesh last December.
