Kolkata, June 29 -- Following his release from the Lal Bazaar police headquarters, Union Minister Sukanta Majumdar hit out at the West Bengal government, stating when the "police sleep, someone has to wake up."

West Bengal BJP President Sukanta Majumdar was detained by Kolkata Police on Saturday while leading a protest against the alleged gangrape incident at South Calcutta Law College.

The protest was part of the BJP's statewide demonstrations demanding justice for the victim and criticising the Mamata Banerjee-led government for its alleged failure to ensure women's safety.

Majumdar, who 32 party workers accompanied, refused to sign a bail bond when offered by the police, choosing instead to stay at the Lalbazar police headquarters....
