The Supreme Court has deferred its hearing on the RG Kar Medical College rape-murder case until November, continuing to monitor safety protocols for healthcare professionals despite the primary conviction. The case, which sparked nationwide protests, resulted in Sanjay Roy receiving a life imprisonment sentence, while a National Task Force established by the court has recommended enhancing existing state laws rather than creating new central legislation to protect medical professionals.
