Know the real story of Aruna Shanbaug, all you wanted to know

After her brutal assault, Shanbaug had been the special occupant of a room attached to ward No. 4 on the ground floor of KEM Hospital. She was attended to by nurses all these years who took care of her food and other necessities. Nearly 38 years after she suffered the brutal assault, the Supreme Court had on January 24, 2011 responded to the plea for euthanasia filed by journalists Pinki Virani, by setting up a medical panel to examine her. Virani had moved the Supreme Court seeking euthanasia for Aruna. The court turned down the mercy killing petition on March 7, 2011.
