West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has acquiesced to doctors' demands, announcing the removal of Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal and Deputy Commissioner (North) amid bribery allegations. This decision follows a six-hour meeting with protesting doctors, sparked by the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at a state-run hospital in Kolkata. Banerjee confirmed the government has accepted all four demands, including a Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) probe, already underway. The moves aim to address concerns over women's safety and police accountability. The Chief Minister's actions seek to quell widespread outrage and protests, ensuring justice for the victim and improved security measures.
