The Calcutta High Court has rebuked the West Bengal government for its failure to prevent vandalism at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The court described the incident as an "absolute failure of state machinery". The vandalism occurred after a doctor was murdered and allegedly raped on August 9. The court has directed the CBI to submit an interim report on the incident, which it believes was "pre-planned". The court had previously ordered a CBI investigation into the doctor's killing, citing concerns over potential lapses by hospital authorities and police. The government has been warned to ensure the hospital's safety.
