The Supreme Court of India has taken suo motu cognizance of the brutal stabbing of lawyer Madhu Rajput by her husband, Manoj Kumar, and the subsequent denial of emergency medical treatment at three hospitals in Delhi. The court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, expressed serious concerns about access to emergency care after Rajput was turned away from GTB Hospital, Kailash Deepak Hospital, and RK Hospital before finally receiving treatment at AIIMS Trauma Centre. The court has ordered a thorough investigation into the hospitals' refusal to admit the victim and directed the Delhi Police Commissioner to assign a senior female officer to oversee the case. The court also highlighted the victim's dire personal circumstances, as she has three minor daughters, and instructed the police to ensure their welfare. Additionally, the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) was directed to provide immediate financial assistance to Rajput for her medical needs, reflecting the urgent need for support in such cases. The court's actions underscore the critical issues surrounding access to emergency medical services in India.
