West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose has directed CM Mamata Banerjee to hold an immediate emergency Cabinet meeting and decide on the people’s demand to replace Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal.
In the wake of the people’s uproar demanding justice for the RG Kar victim, removal of the Police Commissioner was a demand that coincides with the doctor’s protest.
“Governor Bose has directed Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee to hold an emergency Cabinet meeting to discuss people’s demand for justice for the deceased woman doctor,” as per reports.
Governor Bose has added that the government cannot evade responsibility and remain silent on the disturbing developments in the state, he said.
“According to the governor, the state should function within the Constitution and the rule of law. The ostrich-like attitude will not pay and the state must address the public demand to remove the Police Commissioner of Kolkata,” the source said.
The body of an on-duty trainee doctor, who was raped and murdered, was found in the seminar room of state-run RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9, triggering nationwide outrage.
Protests were held by common people daily in Kolkata and other parts of West Bengal seeking justice for the victim.
