India became only the fourth country in the world -- after the United States, Brazil and Russia -- to report more than 300,000 cases of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) on Friday. An angry Supreme Court on Friday rebuked states and hospitals across the country for the callous and insensitive manner in which they were treating coronavirus disease (COVID-19) patients and the bodies of those who had fallen victim to the disease, issuing notices to the central government and five states - Delhi, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Gujarat - in a suo motu (on its own) case initiated by the top court.
