NDTV
Yesterday's arrest of Sandip Ghosh -- the former Principal of the hospital where a woman doctor was raped and murdered last month -- has come as a shot in the arm for the protesters. They said it was time to see the police chief out.
The 24-hour-long face-off between the junior doctors and the police ended this afternoon with the police succumbing to public pressure and removing barricades to allow the crowd to march to the police headquarters in Lalbazar. Currently, a group of medics are meeting the police chief, who, they say, must step down. The protesters are carrying a symbolic spinal cord, which they quipped, they would present to the police chief.

The march to Lalbazar started yesterday. But as the police put up barricades, it could not progress to Lalbazar. The doctors conducted a sit-down protest at the spot, around a km away, and continued today.
