BJP Mahila Morcha workers led the campaign under the leadership of BJP leaders Agnimitra Paul and Locket Chatterjee as part of their protest against alleged lapses in the investigation of the rape and murder case of a junior doctor at Kolkata’s government-run RG Kar Hospital last month.
Both BJP leaders, along with other party workers, alleged that the ‘purification’ of police stations has ended after policemen were found involved in alleged wrongdoings. Therefore, they protested by sprinkling holy water of river Ganga and applying cow dung with brooms in front of police stations.

BJP leader Agnimitra Paul said that they have come as a symbolic protest to clean up the police station in Behala in South Kolkata.

On August 9, a female junior doctor was raped and murdered at Kolkata’s RG Kar Medical College and Hospital. Now CBI is investigating the doctor’s death. Three people, including former college principal Sandeep Ghosh and a policeman, have been arrested by the central agency in connection with its investigation.
Locket Chatterjee, who was protesting in front of the DC North office in Maniktala in northern Kolkata, broke police barricades and swept away dung with a broom. Opposition parties including BJP were accusing the police of serious lapses in the investigation of this case before the CBI investigation.
