RG Kar Case: HC directs hospital to submit injured woman’s medical records

Her husband, the victim’s father, filed online complaints at two separate police stations in Kolkata, seeking that they be treated as First Information Reports (FIRs). He alleged that police personnel had attacked his wife during the protest, resulting in injuries that required hospitalisation.

Medical Dialogues had previously reported that the parents of the deceased PG trainee at RG Kar Hospital, who have been seeking protection amid alleged threats, have prompted Rashtrapati Bhavan to direct West Bengal Chief Secretary Manoj Pant to look into the matter.

The second police station report stated “outcome of preliminary enquiry is completed and no evidence or materials substantiating the allegation, thus no case was made out to lodge an FIR and the information was given to the Petitioner,” reports the Indian Express.

Despite the conclusions of the police inquiries, the court deemed it necessary to examine the medical evidence, particularly in light of the injury claims made by the petitioner. The hospital is now required to be represented in court and produce all relevant medical documentation related to the treatment of the injured woman.
