In her complaint, she stated that she rushed outside upon hearing the loud shouting. Despite repeated requests from the lady police personnel to calm down and leave the premises peacefully, the visitors turned aggressive.The situation spiralled out of control when the group began attacking the police with fists and blows. When the constable stepped forward to restrain them, the accused kicked her. In the ensuing melee, the attackers bit three other police personnel who tried to intervene.The police have named three primary accused in the FIR: Aritra Ghosh (31) of Jadavpur and Moumita Naiya (31); and Arpita Dey (29), both residents of Chittaranjan Colony. They have been charged with voluntarily assaulting government servants to deter them from discharging their lawful duties, under common intention.Cops confirmed that an inquiry is underway, and strict legal action is being taken against the accused for the unprecedented station-house attack.
