In Kolkata, fans of rival football clubs East Bengal and Mohun Bagan joined forces to protest the brutal rape and murder of a trainee doctor from RG Kar Medical College. The Durand Cup Derby was suspended due to security concerns, but fans rallied outside Salt Lake Stadium, braving the rain to demand justice. They held banners, flags, and placards while chanting for the victim’s family. The police imposed Section 163 prohibitory orders, clashing with protesters who were lathi-charged and arrested. Some fans were found with weapons, prompting further arrests.
