Indian state accepts key demands of protesting doctors in rape case

The Indian state of West Bengal has agreed to remove the police chief of its capital, Kolkata, following a meeting with doctors protesting the rape and murder of their colleague.

Two other senior officials - the director of medical education and the director of health services - will also be removed, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said.

Thousands of junior doctors in the state have been on a strike since 9 August, when the body of the 31-year-old woman was found at the state-run hospital where she worked.
