Hindustan Times  

The West Bengal Police on Tuesday refuted Bharatiya Janata Party leader Suvendu Adhikari's claim that four student activists were “missing”, saying that they were arrested for their alleged involvement in a conspiracy of murder and attempted murder case. Bharatiya Janata Party leader Suvendu Adhikari called out Kolkata police for arresting four students and said court would take action soon Without taking any name, the police said the “missing” allegation was false and claimed that the four were reportedly planning to "orchestrate large-scale violence" during Tuesday's ‘Nabanna Abhijan’. Later speaking to the media, Howrah Police Commissioner Praveen Kumar Tripathi said that the four were arrested under the BNSS clause 172 in 'Preventive Action of the Police' because they were involved in a conspiracy. Suvendu Adhikari later responded to the Kolkata Police's post saying that their families would take court action against it.
