The Nabanna Abhijan Rally in Kolkata, held to protest the rape-murder case at RG Kar Hospital, turned chaotic as protesters clashed with the police. Demonstrators, furious about the tragic incident, broke through barricades, leading to tense confrontations. To manage the situation, the police used water cannons and tear gas to disperse the crowd. Several people, including women, were detained, and the police conducted a flag march through the streets with many officers to restore order. The rally showed the deep public anger and demand for justice for the victim. In response to the unrest, the BJP has called for a 12-hour `Bengal Bandh` to protest against the state government following the Nabanna Abhiyan march.
