Rape and murder of medic triggers strike by doctors at government hospitals in India

Indian doctors in government hospitals across several states halted elective services "indefinitely" on Monday to protest the rape and murder of a young medic.

The 31-year-old woman's brutalized body was found bearing multiple injuries on Friday in a state-run hospital in West Bengal's Kolkata, where she was a resident doctor.  

A subsequent autopsy confirmed sexual assault and homicide.
