New Delhi, August 30

West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose on Friday met Union Home Minister Amit Shah and is learnt to have discussed the current law and order situation in the state, in the aftermath of the alleged rape and murder of a junior doctor in Kolkata’s RG Kar medical College and ensuing protests and demonstrations.

Bose is likely to provide a detailed report on the situation in West Bengal to the Centre amid speculations of the government evaluating various options even as the incident is being investigated by the CBI.

The Governor had arrived in Delhi on Thursday evening for the scheduled meeting.

Last week, Bose had also met President Droupadi Murmu and Vice-President Jagdeep Dhankhar to brief them on the RG Kar incident and the subsequent events that unfolded in the state.

Protests erupted nationwide, particularly in Kolkata, over the trainee doctor’s rape and murder, with protesters demanding swift action in the case.

In Kolkata, protesting university students led the crowds on August 27, in breaking through barricades set up by security forces to demand the resignation of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for her handling of the case.
