Chaos erupted during a protest march by the parents of the RG Kar rape and murder victim in Kolkata, marking one year since the incident. The march, part of the 'Nabanna Abhiyan', aimed to reach the state secretariat to demand justice. Tensions escalated when demonstrators attempted to breach barricades, prompting police to lathi-charge the crowd. The victim’s mother alleged that police roughed her up and broke her bangles without provocation. “Why are they stopping us? All we want is justice,” she said. The protest highlights ongoing public outrage and calls for accountability in the case that shocked the nation. The incident has reignited scrutiny of police conduct and political response.
