West Bengal Chief Minister Suvendu Adhikari suspended three IPS officers tied to the RG Kar rape and murder case, including former Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyel, as well as Indira Mukherjee and Abhishek Gupta.

Adhikari pointed to a fact-finding exercise alleging mishandling of the case, improper FIR filing, and even financial offerings of cash and media-facing statements.
