Mamata Banerjee admits postponing Kolkata police chief Vineet Goyal’s resignation:

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee faced criticism over the delay in dismissing the Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal. On Monday, the TMC supremo said that despite Goyal tendering his resignation, she denied it, citing the need to maintain law and order during the festive season. Multiple demands cited by the Kolkata doctor rape case protestors also include the resignation of the city police chief. However, Banerjee's latest statement about Goyal's resignation has attracted widespread criticism from the opposition party leaders and the protesting doctors.
