Kolkata: Amid the tension and clashes, the Calcutta High Court stepped in and sought a detailed report from the West Bengal Home Secretary over the instances of violence.
The Calcutta High Court further ordered Kolkata Police to not illegally detain any person and also ensure that there is no damage to public property.
The Leader of the Opposition Suvendu Adhikari lashed out at the state government after his release. He added that “Hands & feet of many (BJP) workers were broken, more than 200 workers were injured. We’ll fight against this.”
Earlier today, police detained Leader of Opposition in West Bengal Assembly Suvendu Adhikari and MP Locket Chatterjee ahead of Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) protest march.
The BJP leaders were detained from Hastings in Kolkata when they were leading the Nabanna Chalo Abhiyan. Adhikari, Chatterjee, and BJP leader Rahul Sinha were taken to Kolkata Police headquarters in Lalbazar.
Before the detention, Adhikari said Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee lost the support of the people and turned West Bengal into North Korea.
He further added that “Chief Minister Mamata does not have the support of her people and so she is enforcing dictatorship, similar to North Korea in Bengal. Police will have to pay for what it is doing since Monday. BJP is coming,”.
