Tensions escalated during the ‘Nabanna March’ protest on Tuesday as police resorted to using lathicharge, water cannons, and tear gas against demonstrators. The protest, organized by student groups demanding justice for the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, aimed to march to the West Bengal state secretariat, Nabanna.
As the protesters approached barricades set up by the police, clashes broke out, leading to a forceful response from law enforcement. The police used batons to disperse the crowds, and water cannons and tear gas were deployed to manage the situation and prevent further escalation.
The demonstration, which began as a peaceful march, quickly turned chaotic as protesters and police clashed. The rally comes amid growing public outrage over the handling of the RG Kar incident and demands for accountability from the state government.
