On Tuesday, police in Kolkata deployed tear gas, water cannons and lathi-charge to separate protesters at the 'Nabanna Abhijan' event, which turned violent when demonstrators marched towards the West Bengal State Secretariat in Nabanna. The protest came amid widespread outrage over the rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital, reported ANI. 

According to the report, protesters gathered on Howrah Bridge, battling with police and attempting to breach barricades set up near Santragachi on the way to the Secretariat. Protesters gathered in Santragachi early in the morning and marched from College Square to Kolkata's State Secretariat. Many students and civilians joined the march, waving tricolours and chanting slogans.
