No Safety for the Saviours: Murder of a Doctor

 If white turns red then our lives will be at risk. Life of every  person is very valuable and according to me, life of the doctors who are saviours of our lives is much  more valuable. Murder is a killing of another person unlawfully without any valid justification. 

Accused in the murder cases will definitely get punished if proven guilty but still we can’t bring back  the lives of victims. By punishing we just get justice but we can never bring back the lives of victims  and we can’t fill their space in their families.

DR. Vandana Das was a 25-year-old house surgeon working at  Kottarakkara taluk hospital in Kollam in Kerala. she done her MBBS from Azeezia medical college in  Kollam and doing her house surgeon course at taluk hospital.

She was stabbed during her duty hours with surgical scissors by her patient who was brought by police for treatment of his injured legs. Later  Vandana was taken to private hospital in Kottarakkara and then to Thiruvananthapuram. But unfortunately, doctors couldn’t save her. The accused was Sandeep, an upper primary school teacher near Kundara in Kollam.

He was brought to hospital at 4.30 AM. He has reported history of  alcoholism and substance abuse. According to FIR, he first stabbed DR. Vandana and then injured other people but according to eye witnesses he first injured police and other people and then he  attacked Vandana. He attacked everyone who came in front of him and no one could go near him  intially.

Police and some other persons present there were also wounded badly. DR. Vandana was  stabbed by Sandeep multiple times. She has six serious stabbed wounds on neck, chest, abdomen,  spinal cord, and head.

One of the reason for not taking immediate action to save Vandana was the new  medico legal procedure which means police will not present during the treatment of a person whoever  it is. According to this procedure police should present outside the treatment room.
