A massive showdown of the BJP and Left supporters took place outside the law college in Kolkata, where a student was raped within the premises on June 25.

The four-member fact-finding team formed by the BJP, which arrived in the city earlier today, attempted to visit the college; however, they were stopped outside the premises by the police.

Barricades were put up outside the premises as the BJP leaders attempted to enter the campus.

Sources in the administration told CNN-News18 that the BJP’s fact-finding team will not be allowed at the place of occurrence.

The BJP announced the names of four of its members on Saturday, tasking them to visit the site of the incident in Kolkata and see the progress of the police probe into the case.

Former union minister Meenakshi Lekhi, former Tripura chief minister and current Lok Sabha MP Biplab Kumar Deb, Rajya Sabha MP Manan Kumar Mishra and former cop Satpal Singh were chosen as the committee members.

The team will submit its report to the BJP national president JP Nadda.
