The Supreme Court is set to hear a suo motu case on Tuesday regarding the rape and murder of a postgraduate medical student at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The incident, which sparked a nationwide doctors’ strike, has drawn the Supreme Court's attention, prompting a suo motu investigation. The bench, led by Justice DY Chandrachud, is examining the incident amid ongoing protests, particularly by doctors seeking enhanced safety measures and justice for the victim.
