Supporters of East Bengal and Mohun Bagan staged a massive protest over the RG Kar Medical College and Hospital Kolkata doctor rape & murder case incident near salt lake stadium on August 18. Football fans gathered here to watch the Durand Cup match between Mohun Bagan and East Bengal but the match was cancelled. One of the footballers said, “We (East Bengal and Mohun Bagan supporters) have come together because of the RG Kar incident. The police had said that they would not be able to provide protection, therefore the match was cancelled...Where did the police force come from now?” Another football supporter says, “Where did such a lot of police force come from? You had said there is no police force and will not be able to give police protection (for the match)...Why did the police lathi charge?” Kolkata, West Bengal: "We are first Indians. Before Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, we are Indians. Atrocity has happened against Indian woman. We were protesting peacefully here...But the police started a lathi charge...," says a football supporter protesting near Salt Lake stadium against the rape and murder of a woman resident doctor in RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
