New Delhi/IBNS: Amid the standoff between junior doctors and West Bengal over the RG Kar rape-murder incident, senior doctors have demanded the removal of Kolkata's Commissioner of Police Vineet Goyal claiming the state government is misleading the Supreme Court.

The senior doctors made the comment at a joint press conference of West Bengal Junior Doctors' Front and some resident doctors of New Delhi.

At a press conference in New Delhi, the senior doctors have accused Kolkata Police of tampering with the evidence.

The doctors have demanded an impartial investigation by the CBI. They want a probe to find out under whose direction Kolkata CP was acting.

Mamata invites protesting junior doctors

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday invited junior doctors, who are on ceasework demanding justice for the rape-murder victim, to hold talks yet again amid the deadlock on the issue.

The Chief Minister has invited junior doctors for the meeting at her Kalighat residence at 5 pm.

In a letter from chief secretary Manoj Pant, it has been cleared to the doctors that their demand for live-streaming or video recording won't be allowed in the meeting citing the matter is in the court.

The junior doctors are in the huddle for a decision.

On Thursday, about 30-35 junior doctors reached the state government headquarters Nabanna but didn't attend the meeting as their demand for live-streaming of the discussion was turned down by the Chief Minister.

After Mamata reached the doctors' dharna site on Saturday afternoon, the protesters agreed for a meeting at the Chief Minister's residence but the question of live-streaming played spoilsport initially.

After repeated requests from the Chief Minister and a promise of meeting minutes, the junior doctors agreed for a discussion but junior Health Minister Chandrima Bhattacharya and state chief secretary Manoj Pant said it was time over for the day.

While the government is aiming to talk on safety issues in hospitals, the junior doctors' five demands include justice for the victim, disciplinary action against now arrested ex-RG Kar principal Sandip Ghosh, resignation of Commissioner of Police Vineet Goyal and two other top police officers, enhancing security at hospitals and elimination of the alleged threat culture.
