The ABVP called for a protest march against the atrocities on the women in Sandeshkhali. The protest march was scheduled to reach ‘Uttar Kanya’- the secretariat of North Bengal in Siliguri. But to stop the march, heavy police forces along with RAF were deployed.
As the march was started, the Police tried to stop the protesters. But as the protesters attempted to cross the barricade and marched further, the police and RAF lathi-charged. Several protesters were injured. The police also detained several workers.
Meanwhile, the Central Bureau of Investigation has summoned nine people, including some close aides and acquaintances of suspended Trinamool Congress leader Shahjahan Sheikh, to appear before it on Monday in the case related to the alleged attack on Enforcement Directorate (ED) officials in Sandeshkhali on January 5.
