BJP's protest march turns violent, police car torched in Kolkata, Suvendu Adhikari detained

Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) MLA from West Bengal's Nandigram, Suvendu Adhikari was detained during the Nabanna Chalo procession in Kolkata today. Some visuals also showed city police use water cannons on BJP workers to disperse and stop them. Apart from Adhikari, BJP MP Locket Chatterjee was also detained during the march. 

The BJP leaders were detained from Hastings in Kolkata,



where the police had put up heavy barricading. Adhikari, Chatterjee and BJP leader Rahul Sinha were taken to Kolkata Police headquarters in Lalbazar.

"Chief Minister Mamata does not have the support of her people and so she is enforcing dictatorship, similar to North Korea in Bengal. Police will have to pay for what it is doing since Monday. BJP is coming," Adhikari told news agency ANI.
