on Saturday, were arrested after a video of them abusing people, smashing beer bottles, damaging parked cars, harassing young women and assaulting residents who dared to protest went viral.
A woman who reportedly watched them creating the ruckus shot a video and uploaded it on Facebook, tagging Bidhannagar City Police. As more people tagged cops, local MLA Sujit Bose and even chief minister Mamata Banerjee, police swung into action. They arrested all three—Srijan Bairagi, Sayan Samanta and Deepak Mukherjee—from Bairagi’s Salt Lake home, where they had partied all night and were visibly drunk. Sayan and Deepak are from Behrampore and Burtolla in Kolkata.
A police case was filed.
