An investigation has been launched following a road rage incident in Kolkata, where demonstrators claim they were chased for kilometers by a group of 70-80 people on two-wheelers. The group had been protesting the rape and murder of a local doctor when the incident occurred.

The altercation allegedly began after the rally at Rashbehari Crossing. Protesters accused the Kali Puja procession of blocking their vehicle, triggering a heated exchange. This escalated into a pursuit down to the Exide Crossing.

Despite multiple calls to local police stations, responses were delayed until the protestors dialed emergency services. The perpetrators had fled by the time officers arrived. Authorities are now analyzing CCTV footage from the area to identify those responsible.
