West Bengal LoP Suvendu Adhikari led a BJP protest in Kolkata over the alleged gang-rape of a student at South Calcutta Law College. Protesters raised slogans against CM Mamata Banerjee, demanding justice and accountability amid rising anger over crimes against women in the state.

Pressure is mounting on the Mamata Banerjee Government as protests over SSC Recruitment scam intensify. Supreme Court struck down the SSC recruitment process, calling it “tainted from start to finish’. 26,000 teachers have lost jobs in one of the largest recruitment scams in West Bengal’s history. Following the verdict, mass protests erupted outside Bikash Bhavan in Kolkata’s Salt Lake area. The protests turned violent as police resorted to lathi-charge to disperse the crowd.
