In Kolkata, allegations have surfaced regarding stone-pelting on vehicles returning from a Ram Navami procession. While the day-long celebrations across Bengal remained largely peaceful with numerous processions, tension flared in the evening in the Muslim-dominated Park Circus area. Reports claimed that Hindu devotees were attacked while returning from a religious event.A video shared by BJP MP Sukanta Majumdar on social media showed a white car with its rear window shattered, broken glass scattered inside, and a stone visible on the seat. The vehicle also had a damaged saffron flag, according to his statement. Another video captured similar damage to a second vehicle, with claims that multiple cars bore scratches from stone pelting.However, Kolkata Police stated that no official permission was granted for any procession in that area and denied reports of widespread violence. Police confirmed that only one vehicle—the white car shown in the video—was reported damaged and that they intervened immediately upon receiving the complaint. The incident is currently under investigation.This conflicting narrative has sparked political debate, with BJP alleging a targeted attack and the police urging calm while verifying facts.
