Police in Kolkata used tear gas and water cannons to control protesters during the "Nabanna Abhijan" march on Tuesday. The demonstrators, demanding Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s resignation over the RG Kar hospital rape-murder case, broke through barricades at Howrah Bridge. Chaos erupted as the crowd clashed with police, who resorted to using force to disperse them. The protest, led by an unregistered student group, drew heavy security, with over 6,000 officers deployed. Despite the measures, tensions escalated, leading to multiple arrests and continued unrest in the area.
