Seething with anger, journalists protested across West Bengal on Tuesday against police "brutalities" on them while covering the march to secretariat programme of the Left parties.

Journalists brought out silent rallies, organised tool down protests and submitted deputations in Kolkata and the districts in protest against "police barbarism" and in solidarity with their injured colleagues who faced the wrath of the security forces in their line of duty.


While police have claimed only three media persons were injured, journalists on field duty on Monday have out the figure at over 20. Some of the journalists had to be taken to hospital after the "savage police attack".
