  • Kolkata Rape-Murder Case: Several Football Fans Detained From Protest Near Salt Lake Stadium | Other

    Football fans staged protest near Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata against the alleged rape and murder of a trainee doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. The Salt Lake Stadium was set to host India’s iconic derby between Mohun Bagan Super Giant and Emami East Bengal FC in the ongoing Durand Cup on Sunday.

    Football fans, who had gathered near Salt Lake Stadium to protest, were detained by the police on Sunday evening. Due to the ongoing widespread protests, a decision was made to shift the second quarter-final match of the Durand Cup from Kolkata to Shillong.

    It is pertinent to note, Mohun Bagan Super Giant and Emami East Bengal FC are arch rivals, however, fans from both clubs came together to raise their voice against the rape and murder case that has jolted the nation.

    “Before Mohun Bagan and East Bengal, we are Indians. Atrocity has happened against Indian woman. We were protesting peacefully here. But the police started a lathi charge,” a protesting football supporter told ANI, who was present at Salt Lake Stadium.

    “This is not a fight of Mohun Bagan and East Bengal. This is the entire India’s fight. Some people were arrested,” another fan said.

    A supporter protesting near Salt Lake raised the question of why police turned up in numbers when the match was canceled due to security reasons.

    Another football supporter said, “Where did such a lot of police force come from? You had said there is no police force and will not be able to give police protection (for the match). Why did the police lathi charge?”

    “We (East Bengal and Mohun Bagan supporters) have come together because of the RG Kar incident. The police had said that they would not be able to provide protection; therefore, the match was cancelled. Where did the police force come from now? ” a fan said.

    West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee has given the police a one-week ultimatum to solve the rape-murder case of a 31-year-old doctor at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College.

    Last week, the Chief Minister reiterated that she has no objection to the CBI, which operates under the BJP-led central government, taking over the case if that is what the protesting medical professionals demand. She stated, “… if agitating students want a probe by another agency, we are not against it.” 

    She expressed her confusion over how such an incident could occur. Banerjee shared, “When I first learned about the incident from the Kolkata Police Commissioner, I told him it was tragic and that immediate action was necessary, including the establishment of a fast-track court… There were nurses and security present, yet I still cannot comprehend how this incident happened.”
