Kolkata Police arrested 126 protesters, including 103 males and 23 females, during a march to the state secretariat, Nabanna, demanding Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's resignation over the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor. Clashes erupted, resulting in 15 police personnel being injured. Authorities used batons, tear gas, and water cannons to control the situation. The heightened security follows a call for a 'Bengal bandh' by the BJP. Over 6,000 police officers were deployed to manage the unrest and ensure order in the city.
