Protesters claim police baton charge during demonstration in Kolkata
Teachers and non-teaching staff protest outside the district inspector's office in Kolkata after the Supreme Court invalidated their appointments, citing a tainted selection process.
A section of teachers and other non-teaching staff who lost their jobs following a Supreme Court judgment which held that the whole appointment process was tainted, participated in a protest outside the district inspector (schools) office in south Kolkata on Wednesday. The protesters alleged that police personnel resorted to baton charge to disperse them.
A police officer said that they were looking into the matter. The Supreme Court has invalidated the appointment of 25,753 teachers and other staff in West Bengal government-run and -aided schools, and termed the entire selection process "vitiated and tainted".
