Kolkata, Sep 3 (Reporter) Agitating junior doctors from West Bengal government-owned hospitals on Tuesday lifted their blockade of city's busy streets near Lalbazar after meeting Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal. The impasse ended after Goyal told a delegation of medics that the police did their best while investigating the murder of R G Kar Hospital’s doctor but, despite that, if his seniors in the government tell him to step down he won’t mind doing so, said a protester. Goyal rejected allegations of laxity in the probe into the junior doctor’s murder on August 9, said the protester who was a part of a delegation that met the police chief. The sit-in by doctors near the police headquarters was started on Monday to press their demand for the resignation of Goyal. The medics alleged he was responsible for tampering with evidence in the murder case. After emerging from police headquarters, doctor Aniket Mahato told reporters that though the police chief admitted lapses in preventing vandalism in the hospital on August 14 night he stuck to his stand that the police did their best while investigating the murder. The police commissioner, however, said if his seniors in the government asked him to quit he would not mind doing so, said Mahato, quoting Goyal. The cease-work of the medics, which entered the 26th day on Tuesday, would be continued for seeking justice for their lady colleague murder, arrest of those involved in the rape and murder, resignation of police commissioner and safety and security at work place, said a representative of the agitating doctors. Meanwhile, rallies and protests were reported from many parts of Kolkata that saw the participation of people from different sections of society, including politicians and independent organisations and medics and nurses from the private hospitals. A human chain from Patuly in south to Ultadanga in the east covering the EM Bypass, nearly 17 km long, was formed in the afternoon. The BJP organised a sit-in at Esplanade and CPI(M) led Left allies paraded near the Shyambazar defying the pickets set up by police.
