Supreme Court Orders CISF Deployment at RG Kar Medical College Following Tragic Incident

The Supreme Court has ordered the deployment of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital following the alleged rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor, which sparked nationwide outrage and led to vandalism at the hospital.

The Supreme Court has mandated the deployment of the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, days after the alleged rape and murder of a postgraduate trainee doctor at the facility triggered nationwide protests.

On Wednesday, a CISF team visited the state-run hospital to inspect the security arrangements. The team, led by a senior officer, coordinated with local police and hospital authorities regarding the necessary security measures.

The tragic incident at the medical college led to widespread vandalism, with a mob damaging the emergency department, nursing station, and CCTV cameras on August 15. The Supreme Court criticized the state government's handling of the situation and called for immediate action to prevent further breaches of law and order.
