Assam Hospital Issues Memo After Kolkata Rape-Murder Case, Then A U-Turn
Days after a 31-year-old doctor was raped and murdered at Kolkata's RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, a state-run medical college in Assam issued an advisory for women doctors and students, asking them to "avoid situations where they are alone". It also asked them to "graciously interact with the public, so that you don't attract unnecessary attention of unscrupulous people". Amid an uproar on the campus and social media, authorities of Silchar Medical College and Hospital withdrew the bizarre advisory.
