The High Court had granted bail to the student leader
In fact, the Calcutta High Court on Friday granted bail to West Bengal Student Society leader Sayan Lahiri. It has been claimed about Sayan Lahiri that he was one of the organizers of the rally organized to the state secretariat on August 27 to protest against the alleged rape and murder of a female doctor at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital here. West Bengal Student Society was one of the two organizations that called for ‘Nabanna Abhijan’.
The government has said these things in the petition
Lahiri was arrested for playing an active role in leading the rally on the evening of August 27. Police said that there was violence in the rally, in which public and private property was damaged. Also, police officers were attacked. The Bengal government’s petition filed in the Supreme Court against Sayan Lahiri’s bail states that Lahiri promoted violent movement under the guise of peaceful movement. The petition has described Lahiri’s protest as illegal.
Opposition to bail of Sayan Lahiri

The Bengal government’s petition states that the investigation may be affected by releasing the accused on bail.
