Preparations started for the deployment of Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel on Wednesday at state-run R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital in Kolkata.
The deployment comes after a clear instruction from the Supreme Court. The apex court on Tuesday had ordered any Central Armed Police Force (CAPF) to be stationed in the hospital where the rape and murder of a woman junior doctor took place earlier this month.
The CISF Deputy Inspector General K. Pratap, accompanied by his subordinate officers, reached RG Kar in the morning. Sources said that he had arrived to discuss with the hospital authorities regarding the CISF personnel deployment.
