Depositors vandalize Rose Valley's hotel in Kolkata
According to reports, demanding their deposits back, more than 500 protesters gathered in front of the Rose Valley-owned Park Prime hotel at A.J.C. Bose Road area at around 12:15 pm. The mob suddenly went on a rampage as their demonstration turned violent.
They vandalized the hotel's portico and reception area and allegedly assaulted hotel staffers.
An employee of Park Prime hotel claimed that protesters had misbehaved with guests at ground floor's cafeteria and chased hotel staffers.
Later, a heavy police force from nearby police stations, led by Deputy Commissioner (South division) Praveen Tripathi and Deputy Commissioner (South East division) Gaurav Sharma, rushed to the area and brought the situation under control.
Police officials told IBNS that at least seven protesters were detained from the scene for creating violence.
Meanwhile, due to the hour-long brawl, traffic on adjacent A.J.C. Bose Road was partly hit.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) are currently probing the 15000-crore Rose Valley financial scam while the ponzi group's CMD Gautam Kundu is in judicial custody.
