FOOTBALL FANS PUT ASIDE RIVALRY TO JOIN PROTEST IN KOLKATA

Flags of Mohun Bagan and East Bengal - two of the most iconic clubs in Kolkata's grand football history fluttered as one. Fans of these clubs, who do not like each other, joined hands to fight for a common cause. On Sunday evening, the accepted socio-cultural fabric of Kolkata, some of which is divided based on football fandom, were put on hold as they all demanded justice and protested the alleged rape and murder of a doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.

The protesting fans were joined by Bagan captain and India international, Subhasish Bose, as the evening wore on.
