Protests Erupt in Kolkata Over Doctor's Murder

In Raipur, Chhattisgarh, Congress leaders Deepak Baij and Bhupesh Baghel condemned a police lathi charge on party workers during a peaceful protest against the alleged interception of Baghel's convoy. They criticized the police's actions and warned of further protests if no action is taken against those responsible for the security breach. Meanwhile, in Kolkata, protests erupted during the 'Nabanna Abhijaan' rally, demanding the resignation of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee following the rape-murder of a trainee doctor. Police responded with tear gas, water cannons, and lathi charges as demonstrators attempted to breach barricades, leading to clashes. Student organizations are leading the protests, and the situation has escalated with calls for accountability from the government. The police have made preventive arrests amid accusations of suppressing dissent.
