Today, On 15th October, the Supreme Court of India criticized the recruitment of civic police volunteers in West Bengal, raising concerns about political influence in law enforcement. The court sought comprehensive details from the state regarding these volunteers, their qualifications, and deployment, amid ongoing investigations into the rape and murder of a trainee doctor.
West Bengal Police filed a cyber complaint against tweets falsely linking CJI DY Chandrachud’s wife to the personal physician of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. This coincides with the CJI’s involvement in a case regarding a doctor’s rape and murder. The complaint emphasizes the importance of accountability in online discourse, especially when intersecting with legal matters.
The Supreme Court formed a 10-member National Task Force (NTF) to address safety concerns for healthcare workers following a tragic incident. The NTF’s first meeting is set for today, with a mandate to submit interim guidelines within three weeks and a final report in two months. The focus is on preventing violence and establishing a national protocol for safe working conditions.
