Kolkata Police have clarified reports surrounding the recent unrest in West Port, stating that social media claims of vandalism at a Kali temple or puja mandap are misleading and unsupported by facts. According to officials, the conflict originated from a POCSO (Protection of Children from Sexual Offences) case, with rising tensions between groups associated with the victim and the accused. The situation escalated when certain individuals began stone pelting and causing minor vandalism in the area. Police responded swiftly, dispersing the crowd and protecting the Kali Puja pandal nearby, preventing further damage. Authorities have expressed concern that false claims can unnecessarily heighten tensions and distract from the real issue, which is the safety and justice for a child who was reportedly sexually assaulted. The accused in the POCSO case was quickly apprehended after the incident was reported. Kali Puja 2024: Mamata Banerjee Offers Prayers At Her Residence in Kolkata’s Kalighat (Watch Video).
