Soumik Das, arrested from Nagerbazar on Friday, confessed to vandalizing property during a procession following the RG Kar Medical College attack. Das claimed he acted out of emotion after witnessing the violence at the hospital. In a media statement, he said he joined the procession spontaneously and vandalized on impulse, without any prior planning or external influence. His admission comes amid ongoing allegations that some participants in the 'occupy night' march vandalized the hospital, claims which have been contested by various sources. Das's confession adds new details to the investigation into the events that followed the attack on Wednesday night.
