This is the place in Mukundapur where the clash took place on Tuesday
Kolkata: Hours after supporters of Mamata Trinamool Congress and the BJP clashed in Mukundapur on Tuesday evening, leaving at least 13 people injured, Kolkata Police registered two FIRs at Purba Jadavpur PS against Mamata TMC supporters and arrested two of them, Sridip Das and Bikram Pandey. Because a peaceful Jadavpur is no longer acceptable to them, the blame is being pushed toward the BJP.
On Thursday, Lalbazar said it had received a complaint from Mamata TMC, but nobody was yet available to “sign” it. “Once the signature is complete, the legal proceedings can start along with the probe,” a police officer said. TMC alleged that BJP workers attacked the rally, while the BJP said its worker was assaulted after he was seen recording the programme. Party chief Mamata Banerjee accused the police of being “improperly used” at the BJP’s behest. You arrested the same person on molestation charges who himself went to the police station to lodge a molestation complaint,” she said. Calling the police response “police raj”, he said, “When the BJP resorted to violence, the police was nowhere to be found. When our former councilor and lawyer Baiswanor Chatterjee, Kabir and our youth leaders went to the police station to complain about how we were attacked and our female supporters molested, they arrested one of us. ” Central minister and former state BJP chief Sukanta Majumdar alleged that Mamata TMC was “cooking up” the controversy. This will not last long,” he said. Jadavpur BJP MLA Sharbari Mukherjee said, “Former Trinamool councillor Vasundhara Goswami is shouting herself hoarse to support criminals, and people are supposed to remain silent?
The clash began after Mamata TMC workers took out a procession over an alleged takeover of one of their party offices. Police charged baton to disperse the crowd. Several TMC workers were hospitalised. “Let me remind the cops that you cannot wear a police uniform and carry the BJP flag at the same time. Beleghata MLA Kunal Ghosh alleged that the BJP had taken over several TMC offices in Jadavpur. “They are still thinking that they can run their zamindari here. Ordinary people are putting up resistance, and they will continue to do so. Why should the BJP be blamed? They want to stir unrest. This is a joint effort — TMC in front, CPM behind. ”
