Following clashes with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers, the Kolkata Police resorted to lathicharge and using tear gas and water cannons to disperse the protesters on Tuesday, 13 September.
Purported BJP workers also resorted to stone-pelting in Howrah's Santraganchi amid the clashes.
The BJP had decided to march to state secretariat 'Nabanna' in Kolkata as part of a protest over alleged corruption by the Trinamool Congress (TMC) government.
