Kolkata Nabanna News: Watch Big Updates Of The Hour Only On ABP News | ABP News

The BJP has called for a 12-hour bandh in West Bengal today, Wednesday (August 28). This follows a protest in Kolkata on Tuesday (August 27), where demonstrators attempted to march to the state secretariat, 'Nabanna,' over the rape and murder case of a female doctor. The protest led to clashes with the police, who responded with lathi charges and water cannons. In response to the police action, the BJP announced the bandh to oppose the crackdown. The protests were driven by demands for the resignation of Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee in connection with the rape and murder of a female doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata. Demonstrators called for her resignation, accusing her of failing to maintain law and order. The police used lathi charges, tear gas, and water cannons to disperse the crowd heading towards 'Nabanna.'
