West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari announced the suspension of three senior Indian Police Service (IPS) officers, including former Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal, due to alleged negligence in the investigation of the RG Kar Medical College rape and murder case. This case, which dates back to August 9, 2024, involved the tragic death of a 31-year-old postgraduate trainee doctor, whose body was found in a seminar hall at the college. The incident led to nationwide protests by doctors and heightened demands for accountability from police and the state government. Initially handled by the Kolkata Police, the case was later transferred to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) following public outcry and intervention by the Calcutta High Court. Although the CBI successfully convicted Sanjay Roy as the primary accused, criticisms of the police's initial handling of the case remain prominent. The recent suspensions and the initiation of departmental inquiries reflect ongoing scrutiny regarding procedural failures during the investigation, as public discourse around women's safety and police accountability continues to evolve in West Bengal.
