Protestors alleged the lawkeepers subsequently resorted to baton charge resulting in injuries to several people including a brother of the victim.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The brother of the victim was beaten up and many people including women have been detained and brought to the headquarters of the city police,&#8221; claimed one of the protestors.<\/p>\n<p>Deputy Commissioner of Police (Central) D.P. Singh, however, denied any baton charge on the protestors.<\/p>\n<p>Later, Kamduni Primary School headmaster Pradip Mukerjee admitted the disturbance was sparked off by a misunderstanding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;A person, who I saw in the court for the first time, claimed the accused have not been charge sheeted under Section 302.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This created the misusnderstanding as we all got upset and irritated. We should have cross-checked. But police also should have been more cautious,&#8221; said Mukherjee.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee who earlier had asserted that it was her &#8220;government&#8217;s target to ensure the accused get death penalty&#8221;, during the day hoped for a speedy trial in the case.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Whatever the CID could do they have done that&#8230;I want the judgment to be delivered as early as possible,&#8221; Banerjee told media persons.<\/p>\n<p>(Source: IANS)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The court framed charges under section 302, 376 A and 376D of the IPC among others, against eight of the accused who have been arrested three months after the gruesome incident.
