Rupa Ganguly released on bail

BJP leader and actor Rupa Ganguly has been released on bail by the Alipur Court in Kolkata. 

Roopa Ganguly was arrested and taken to the Kolkata Police Headquarters at Lalbazar after staging a protest at the Bansdroni Police Station on the night of October 2. 

The former BJP MP was demanding the release of fellow party leader Rubi Das, who had been detained in connection with a road accident. 

Ganguly was arrested for obstructing police duties. The protest followed the tragic death of a 15-year-old boy who was struck by an excavator while standing with his bicycle.

The incident sparked outrage among locals, leading to overnight protests and vandalism of the excavator involved.
