Kolkata: ABVP activists Monday pelted stones at police officers and tried to break barricades after their protest rally to Jadavpur University here was stopped midway, sources said.
The right wing students’ organisation took out the rally from Gariahat area in south Kolkata to protest against the September 19 attack on Union Minister Babul Supriyo on Jadavpur University campus.
As soon as the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) activists reached Jodhpur Park, around 2km away, police stopped them by putting up barricades on the road, the sources said.
The protesters then pelted the police with stones and tried to break the barricades, while raising slogans against the Trinamool Congress government, they added.
Supriyo was last week heckled and held up for several hours by the students of Jadavpur University, where he had gone to attend a seminar organised by the ABVP.
