“Doctors have gone on strike. Can you blame the doctors for any problem caused to any patient today due to the strike?” the court asked the state government

The Kerala High Court on Wednesday slammed the state government and the police over the killing of a 23-year-old doctor at a taluk hospital in Kollam district by a man she was treating, saying it indicated their “failure” to protect doctors.
According to a cop, while a wound on the leg of Sandeep, a suspended schoolteacher, was being dressed by Dr Vandana Das, he suddenly got provoked and attacked everyone standing there using a scissor and scalpel. He was brought there by police after being involved in a fight with his family members.
