Karnataka HC order on medical test of rape victims: ‘Doctors can’t be callous’

The Karnataka High Court has ordered the Principal Secretary of the Health Department to issue a circular reiterating the duties of doctors who conduct medical examinations and write reports on sexual assault cases. The court noted instances in which doctors were callous while preparing a medical report on whether or not a minor victim had been sexually assaulted.

Pradeep was arrested by Ramamurthy Nagar police under the POCSO Act and the IPC. The doctor examined the victim on December 5, 2020 and noted that there were no injuries in external genitalia but failed to mention whether hymen was intact or not, whether she had been abused or sexually assaulted.

“This is one more classic case of negligence on the part of the doctor, who conducted the examination of the victim and not giving report and in a callous manner issuing Sexual Assault Certificate without any opinion and hence it is a fit case to direct the Principal Secretary, Health Department, to initiate the appropriate proceedings against the doctor, who had issued Sexual Assault Certificate,” the Court said.

“Fortunately, injuries didn’t affect the spine.” Saif Ali Khan receives 10 stitches for a serious stab wound sustained during the home burglary.

Actor Saif Ali Khan’s house in Bandra, Mumbai was a target for an attempted robbery during the early hours of Thursday morning. The actor was stabbed during the incident and had to urgently be taken to Lilavati hospital and undergo surgery. Now, we have received more updates on it.

We have learnt from sources at the hospital that one of the injuries was quite deep and the actor has received 10 stitches for this stab. The source says, “Fortunately, it has not affected the spine. He was very lucky that the stabs have not affected any of his vital organs. It appears to have been attacked by a knife and he was actually thwarting a robbery attempt.”

Coincidentally, at the reported time of the robbery, Saif’s wife Kareena Kapoor Khan has put up an Insta story of a girls night in with her friends Sonam Kapoor and Rhea Kapoor, and sister Karisma Kapoor. It had led to speculations that she was probably not at home during the time of burglary. However her team has released a statement saying, “All members of the household were present at home at the time of the unfortunate incident.”

As per recent reports, three suspects have been detained by the Bandra Police in the case.
