Kolkata News | Bengal Replaces Kolkata Police Commissioner, 2 Health Officials On Doctors' Demand

Fulfilling some of its key promises made to the protesting doctors during their meeting with Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Monday, the West Bengal government has transferred Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal as well as the state's Director of Medical Education and Director of Health Services.

Mr Goyal has been replaced by Manoj Kumar Verma, a 1998-batch officer, who held the post of Additional Director General of Police (Law and Order) to which he was appointed in January this year. Mr Verma had taken over from Jawed Shamim, who was seen as one of the frontrunners for the Kolkata Police Commissioner's post. Mr Shamim will now be replacing Mr Verma.

Vineet Goyal, who is a 1994-batch officer and had been the Kolkata Police Commissioner since December 2021, will be assuming charge as the Additional Director General of Police and Inspector General of Police (Special Task Force).
