Mamata dons lawyer’s robe, Calcutta HC directs police to ensure safe return of victims affected by violence

She claimed that she is unable to file complaints in person and has been forced to lodge them online. The court directed the West Bengal police to ensure safe returns for those illegally evicted from their homes or businesses due to post-election violence. The Trinamool Congress welcomed the intervention, while protests erupted from a section of lawyers who chanted "chor chor" (thief thief) slogans.
