India, June 28 -- Union minister and West Bengal BJP President Sukanta Majumdar was detained on Saturday while protesting against the gang-rape of a student at a law college in Kolkata.

Majumdar, in a post on X, said he was detained along with his party leaders by the Kolkata Police on the orders of chief minister Mamata Banerjee.

"When we staged a protest at Gariahat crossing in south Kolkata against the gangrape of a law college student by TMC's appointed student leader Manojit Mishra and his associates under the cover of darkness, the Kolkata Police acting on the orders of failed chief minister Mamata Banerjee unjustly arrested me along with the BJP's state and district leaders," the BJP state chief said in the X post.
