The confrontation was brought under control within about an hour and remained confined to a small pocket near the Bangladesh deputy high commission, not spreading beyond Beckbagan. ADVERTISEMENT“Business was affected, but for a short while,” said Ravinder Agarwal, who runs an electrical equipment store on AJC Bose Road in Beckbagan, outside the barricaded zone. “Around 2.15pm, some protesters, chased by police, ran along the Exide-bound flank of AJC Bose Road. On Monday, Bengal’s leader of the Opposition, Suvendu Adhikari, led a rally to the Bangladesh deputy high commission demanding justice for Dipu Das, the Hindu man killed in Mymensingh, Bangladesh. The disruption also affected patients travelling to and from an OPD unit of the Institute of Neurosciences Kolkata, located at 10 West Range Road, opposite the deputy high commission.
