On Tuesday, the Supreme Court had ordered CISF deployment at the state-run hospital to enable doctors to resume work. Protests have triggered across the state against the rape and murder of a woman doctor at the hospital.

On the eve of August 15, a group of people had entered the hospital and vandalised its emergency ward, medical store and many rooms. In view of which, Kolkata Police have suspended three officers, including two assistant police commissioners.

The court had stated that the state government was expected to prevent a law and order breach, which is more essential due to the ongoing investigations of the crime that took place at the hospital. It also mentioned that it was difficult to understand how the state was not prepared to handle vandalism at the hospital premises.
