Act promptly on rallyists’ plaints: Lalbazar to cops
Times of India | 8 September 2024
Kolkata: With repeated instances of molestation and harassment of protesters, Lalbazar has issued an elaborate list of dos and don’ts for cops, who will be on duty for various citizens’ protests lined up in the next two days that coincide with the possible SC hearing of the R G Kar case on Monday.
The day also marks one month of the crime.
“We are also instructing cops not to engage in any altercation and swing in to action in case of any complaint from women protesters, irrespective of whether they are written,” said an officer, adding that there would be night vigil and extra deployment on some roads, too.
Last Wednesday, two cops were assaulted at Garia crossing during the protest.
“We have asked cops to stay as a unit rather than staying alone in front of protesters,” said a police source. tnn
