Fans of Mohun Bagan and East Bengal united outside Kolkata's Salt Lake Stadium on Sunday to protest the rape and murder of a thirty-one-year-old trainee doctor at RG Kar Hospital. Despite the Durand Cup match between the two teams being canceled due to the situation, fans gathered in large numbers, holding club flags and demanding justice. The Bidhan Nagar police lathicharged the protesters and detained several as they tried to disperse the crowd. All India Football Federation president Kalyan Chaubey criticized the situation, stating, "Law and order has completely collapsed in West Bengal."
