A massive rally, ‘Nabanna Abhijaan’, organized by the Chhatra Samaj, took to the streets of Kolkata demanding justice for the brutal rape and murder of a doctor at the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The rally, which aimed to march towards the state secretariat, Nabanna, was met with a heavy police response, including tear gas, water cannons, and lathi charges. The protesters, who have demanded capital punishment for the culprit and the resignation of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, claim to be an apolitical platform despite allegations of ties to the BJP and RSS.
