The Supreme Court warns private medical colleges against charging extra fees from BPL students, mandating only subsidized rates and ordering refunds for any excess amounts collected.
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.
