Slamming the police for their failure to anticipate and prevent the attack and the gruesome murder of house surgeon Vandana Das at the Kottarakara taluk hospital, a Division Bench of the Kerala High Court on Wednesday directed the State Police Chief to appear before it online on May 11 and file a report on the incident.
The Bench comprising Justice Devan Ramachandran and Justice Kauser Edappagath also directed the Judicial First Class Magistrate, Kottarakara, to visit the taluk hospital and conduct a physical inspection of the scene of the incident and file a report before the court.
The court ordered that the CCTV visuals of the rooms/places of occurrence of the incident that led to the death of the doctor be preserved and said the superintendent of the hospital would be personally held responsible if found otherwise.
