The City Diary

Three injured in clash over tease

Three persons were injured in a clash in Ekbalpore over an incident of eve-teasing on Sunday evening. Police said two members of a group teased a 35-year-old woman, a resident of the neighbourhood. As she protested, another group rushed in and assaulted the alleged teasers. The gangs then clashed, one throwing bricks at the other. The situation was brought under control when a police team arrived. Local residents submitted a memorandum to the officer-in-charge of Ekbalpore police station, demanding the arrest of the accused.

Muskets seized

The Criminal Investigation Department seized three muskets in a hideout in Kalyani, on the northern fringes of the city, on Saturday night. Police said the raid was planned on the basis of statements provided by Tapan Bhowmik, alias Tapa, who was arrested in Chhapra, Bihar, a few weeks ago on charges of extortion and murder. A pistol had been seized from Tapa.
