The conscience of the nation is shocked by the rape-murder of a doctor in Kolkata: Supreme Court The Supreme Court of India said this in the first hearing after taking up the case on its own initiative. The Chief Justice ordered the formation of a 'National Task Force' in this incident. The Supreme Court of India has accepted a suo motu case in the case of the rape and murder of a trainee female doctor at RG Kar Hospital in Kolkata, West Bengal. "This incident has shocked the conscience of the nation," the court said on the first day of hearings on Tuesday, according to the BBC. The court also criticized the authorities for conducting the investigation of the incident. In the hearing, Chief Justice DY Chandrachud ordered the formation of a 'National Task Force (NTF)' in the incident. Top doctors and government officials from various institutions of the country will be in that task force. The task force will advise on what can be done to ensure the safety of doctors across the country. The task force will review the health infrastructure across India and submit an interim report in the next three weeks. After that, the final report will be submitted within the next two months. The role of Sandeep Ghosh, the former director of Kolkata Police and RG Tax, has come under question again and again in the hearing of the Supreme Court. Chief Justice DY Chandrachud expressed anger as to why the RG Kar Medical College authorities did not file an FIR first. He also expressed surprise as to how the hospital was vandalized. During the hearing of the case, the Chief Justice commented, "It is clear that the incident was murder." #solpal #solpalnews #newspoint
