The Chief Minister’s Office said the inquiry will examine the circumstances leading to the incident, security arrangements at the accommodation where the victim was staying, possible negligence by the hospital management, and compliance with prescribed safety norms for women employees.
With the accused already in police custody, CM Revanth directed senior police officials to expedite the collection of forensic and other technical evidence and ensure that a comprehensive chargesheet is filed without delay. He also directed authorities to take steps to have the case tried in a fast-track court to ensure speedy justice for the victim’s family.
