West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee today questioned SFI protests over the death of its leader Sudipta Gupta saying it is an accident even as Kolkata police called for media restraint amid allegations he was beaten to death in police custody.
As the death of 22-year-old Sudipto Gupta continued to evoke strong protests, his father Pranab Gupta and the CPI-M maintained his death was not an accident and that he was allegedly done to death. CPI-M has demanded a judicial probe while the victim's family has called for CBI investigations.
