Abhijit Mondal, the officer in charge of Tala Police Station, was suspended by the Kolkata Police on Wednesday. The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) had arrested Mondal on September 14 in connection with the RG Kar rape-murder case. He was produced in Sealdah Court along with Sandip Ghosh, the former principal of RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
Meanwhile, the West Bengal Junior Doctors Front requested another meeting with the state government to resolve some of their unresolved demands. State Chief Secretary Manoj Pant accepted the request for a meeting with a 30-member delegation at Nabanna. Dr. Aqeeb expressed hope that the meeting, scheduled for 6:30 pm, would be successful and that the Chief Minister would also attend.
Following a previous meeting with the protesting doctors, the West Bengal government accepted some of their demands, including the removal of the police chief of Kolkata and two senior health officials. Additionally, Dr. Suparna Dutta and Dr. Swapan Soren were removed from their posts at the Institute of Health and Family Welfare.
Dr. Kaustav Nayak and Dr. Debashis Halder were also removed from their positions as Director of Medical Education (DME) and Director of Health Services (DHS) in the Department of Health and Family Welfare. The body of a 31-year-old doctor was found at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9, leading to a strike by thousands of junior doctors in the state.
