Calcutta, Sept. 3: Pankaj Mishra, the Forward Bloc leader accused of vandalising the Reliance Fresh outlet in Girish Park last month, gave himself up this morning.
The surrender in the chief judicial magistrate’s court ended weeks of his cat-and-mouse game with police, who had an arrest warrant. Pankaj was later given bail.
Calcutta: Relatives of Panihati municipality chairman Manik Sarkar, who died at Peerless Hospital, have accused the hospital and its doctors of negligence.

The hospital said the doctors “tried their best”.
