Kolkata Police File Complaint Against Trinamool Congress Over Rally Violations
Kolkata Police have filed a suo motu complaint against the Mamata Banerjee-led Trinamool Congress for allegedly violating Calcutta High Court conditions during the Martyrs' Day rally on July 21. The court had limited participants to 2,500 and restricted the rally to one lane of Cathedral Road to maintain traffic flow. Police allege that the crowd exceeded this limit and occupied both lanes, disrupting traffic and forcing vehicle diversions. The complaint was lodged at Hastings Police Station under the South Division of Kolkata Police.
