Kolkata rape case protests spiral into political street clashes in India

We are calling for a strike to protest the police atrocities... Many agitators, including women and elderly people, are admitted in hospital with injuries. The Mamata Banerjee government used excessive force on peaceful protestors,

Reports of unprovoked police attacks on the peaceful protesters are coming from several places. I request the Kolkata Police and the West Bengal Police to immediately stop action on the peaceful protesters. Otherwise, we will paralyse the entire state on Wednesday,
