A 20-year-old second-year MBBS student from RG Kar Medical College in Kolkata was found hanging in her hostel room on Friday. Her worried mother, a doctor at Kamarhati ESI Hospital, broke open the door after receiving no response to repeated calls and found her lifeless body. Police have not found a suicide note and are investigating the case as unnatural death. The incident comes after the brutal rape and murder of a female doctor at the same hospital last year, sparking concerns over student safety.
The Madras High Court annulled a 20-year-old woman’s marriage to her former teacher, citing coercion and lack of understanding during the signing of marriage papers. The court voided the registration, emphasizing the importance of consent and personal autonomy. The teacher agreed to end the marriage, allowing the woman to pursue her education.
