Police Lathi-charge Rival Football Fans Seeking Justice For RG Kar Victim In Kolkata
The Bidhannagar City Police: The brutal rape and murder of a junior doctor at the state-run R.G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in Kolkata last week has brought together supporters of two arch-rival city football clubs -- East Bengal and Mohun Bagan.
On Sunday, fans of these two rival clubs jointly raising 'Justice for R.G. Kar' slogans were lathi-charged outside the Salt Lake stadium, where a Durand Cup Derby between the two sides was called off at the last minute on Saturday citing security reasons. Sources said the administration also feared that fans on the stands might have staged protests against the R.G. Kar incidents if the match was held on Sunday.
However, despite the match being called off, supporters of both the teams carrying their respective club flags assembled in front of the Salt Lake Stadium since Sunday afternoon to raise their voices against the brutal rape and murder that has triggered a nationwide outrage.
