Mamata Banerjee Protests After Party Leaders Detained
Mamata Banerjee, the former Chief Minister of West Bengal, rode a scooter to a protest site in Kolkata after her party leaders were detained by the police.
The protest was organized by the Trinamool Congress to protest the NEET question paper leak.
The party claimed that permission for the procession was initially granted but later withdrawn.
The police maintained that the gathering was illegal following a High Court order due to unrest during a Left-wing protest the previous day.
Mamata Banerjee alleged that the police were trying to remove the opposition from various places.
