Kolkata: A shocking visual has emerged from West Bengal's Howrah city
where a huge rally-led by Howrah Assistant Commissioner of Police Aloke
Dasgupta was taken out. The rally, taken out at Tikiapara area of
Howrah, which was recently in the news for attacks on corona warriors,
saw a large number of participants including a few Trinamool Congress
leaders.
The rally is likely to trigger a controversy with many social media
users questioning the purpose of gathering a large number of people at
one place at the time of global pandemic.
Videos surfaced on the internet show people in the rally violating
social distancing and lockdown norms with some marching alongside the
senior cop without wearing masks.
Speaking of the Howrah attack, the police has so far arrested at
least 10 people whereas raids are still on to nab all the culprits
responsible for the attack on the police team on April 28. Two police
personnel were injured as a mob hurled bricks and bottles and attacked a
police outpost in the Tikiapara area, besides vandalising two security
force vehicles after the lawkeepers tried to enforce the lockdown in
Belilous Road.
Tension prevailed in the area for next 48 hours which saw nightlong
raids by the police to round up the perpetrators of the violence
identified from a video footage of the incident that had caused outrage
in the state as also various parts of the country.
A day later, on April 29, Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said she has
directed the police to take stern action, without harassing any
innocent people. She, however, accused the BJP of trying to politicise
the issue.
"There are so many police stations in Bengal. The incident has taken
place in only one police station area. And they are making it a big
issue across the nation. As if it is a big victory of the BJP. Their
only aim is to humiliate the state government and the state," she told
media persons.
