The Nabanna Abhijan was marked by large-scale violence leading to several injuries on both sides – police officers and women protesters are among the ones severely wounded.

The horrid developments have spurred the Kolkata police into posting images of miscreants on social media, urging netizens to identify the individuals involved.

Kolkata police have made 220 arrests so far and believe that this could not be a march by the students.

Protestors took to incessant pelting of stones and glass bottles on the police at several spots where their progress was stopped. Fifteen personnel of the Kolkata Police and 14 from the state police force were injured in the clashes, police said.

Police resorted to large-scale lathi-charge, unleashed water cannons and lobbed tear gas shells to disperse the aggressive crowd who poured in from multiple converging points at Nabanna.
