Tensions have been rising in Kolkata, where riot police have clashed with protesters marching towards the state secretariat, Nabanna, in response to the rape and murder of a 31-year-old doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital on August 9. Authorities have fired tear gas and water cannons to disperse the crowd, which has responded by throwing stones at the police. The situation remains volatile, as law enforcement struggles to control an increasingly chaotic scene.
On Tuesday evening, hundreds of youth began the ‘Nabanna Abhijan’ protest from two separate locations in Kolkata, demanding the resignation of West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and the arrest of those responsible for the rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
