Vandana Das, a house surgeon who was stabbed to death by a man at the Kottarakara taluk hospital in May, was awarded the medical degree posthumously by the Kerala University of Health Sciences during a convocation ceremony in Thrissur on Wednesday.
Governor Arif Mohammed Khan presented the degree certificate to the parents of Vandana Das. The Governor consoled Vandana’s mother, Vasantha Kumari, who sobbed uncontrollably after receiving the degree. Vandana Das was killed on May 10 while working as a house surgeon at the Kottarakara taluk hospital after completing the MBBS course.
