During the night interference drive in Barasat’s More Colony, a huge stir broke out on Wednesday night against the RG tax incident. Police arrested 18 protesters, including five women, on charges of misbehaving with a woman police officer, who was granted bail by the court on Thursday. According to information, the protest took place at Barasat Dakbungalow turn. From there, the demonstration slowly moved towards Colony turn.
There was a traffic jam on National Highway 34 due to the protest. It is alleged that some protesters misbehaved with the policewomen. Also, National Highway 34 was blocked without permission, so the movement of trucks was stopped. The drivers of the vehicles were pressuring them to remove the blockade. But the agitators did not listen. The police felt compelled to take this step.
In this case, the protesters claim that during the movement, some outsiders created an orgy under the influence of alcohol. An attempt was made to sexually assault a woman and the police arrested the protesters. At three o’clock in the evening they were all taken to the police station.

After 1 am, the police repeatedly asked to lift the blockade, but the agitators did not listen. Some misbehaved with the police. Many were under the influence of alcohol.
