Violence breaks out in Kolkata’s Park Circus during a protest against an anti-encroachment drive. Protesters gather over the government’s recent action described by one outlet as a bulldozer operation in the Tiljala area, and the demonstration turns violent in Park Circus.
Multiple reports state that demonstrators allegedly throw or pelt stones at police personnel. Police officers are injured during the clashes, and there are reports of damage to vehicles as the situation escalates. One outlet specifically reports three police personnel are hurt, while both accounts describe stone-throwing by protesters and the presence of police on the scene.
The reports do not provide details on arrests, the number of protesters involved, or the extent of injuries beyond the police casualties. The incidents are framed by both sources as connected to opposition against anti-encroachment actions in Kolkata, with the violence occurring during the protest in Park Circus.
