On September 12, a suspicious bag was discovered near RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata, prompting an immediate response from the bomb disposal squad. The area was swiftly cordoned off as authorities assessed the situation to ensure public safety. This incident follows a high-profile rape and murder case that occurred recently, underscoring the heightened security concerns in the region. In response to rising security issues, the Supreme Court had directed the Centre on August 20 to deploy the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) to enhance safety measures. The investigation into both the suspicious bag and the broader security concerns remains ongoing. Authorities are working diligently to determine the nature of the bag`s contents and address any potential threats.
