West Bengal Police declared Tuesday's 'Nabanna Abhijan' march to the state secretariat illegal, citing the organisers' failure to obtain the necessary permissions.

Organised by Paschim Banger Chhatra Samaj and Sangrami Joutha Mancha, the rally aimed to press for Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's resignation over an alleged rape and murder case.

Police officials revealed that no formal application for the rally was submitted, and emphasised that gathering in the Nabanna area is restricted due to prohibitory orders. They suggested alternative venues for peaceful protests and assured people that security measures are in place to maintain order and conduct examinations without disruptions.
