KOLLAM: The family of late Dr. Vandana Das approached High Court asking for a CBI investigation into the murder that happened at Kottarakara taluk hospital. The court has asked for an explanation from the state government and police regarding the case.

According to Vandana’s family, the house surgeon walked herself to the ambulance with ease albeit getting stabbed inside the hospital. Even after reaching the private hospital, Vandana was conscious and was talking with others. However, the family now doubts negligence on the doctors' part or any delay in shifting her to Thiruvananthapuram Medical College. While Vandana was getting attacked, the police, doctors, and other staffs were present but none came up to confront the assailant.

The family said any lax from the police will be deliberately shrouded by the crime branch. Meanwhile, the court has asked the CBI for its opinion on taking up this case.
