Police thrash KKR fans ahead of Eden Gardens felicitation ceremony
Chaotic scenes prevailed at Kolkata's Eden Gardens on Tuesday after police baton charged fans who had gathered to take part in a felicitation ceremony for Indian Premier League (IPL) Season 7 winners Kolkata Knight Riders.
ANI reporting from the venue said the ruckus was caused when fans were denied entry into the 80,000-seat stadium for the event organised by Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and her government.
A stampede outside the stadium resulted in some fans and policemen getting injured and bloodied.
Kolkata Knight Riders bagged the IPL-7 Trophy for the second time in three years.
