Around 200 activists of BJP's youth and women wing led by its chief Rupa Ganguly marched towards the Kolkata Police headquarters where they were blocked at the Central Avenue.
Incidentally, there was a minor scuffle between police and the BJP activists when they tried to break the barricades at Central Avenue and B B Ganguly Street crossings.
Ganguly alleged that the law and order in West Bengal has deteriorated and the safety and security programme has reached a bottom low.
The actress-turned-politician also alleged that the city police has helped the culprits in the Red Road mishap escape after they committed the crime.
She alleged that "the police has helped those involved in the Red Road mishap to escape has come out in the open."
"The administration is trying to save people who are with the party. Repeatedly, kin of TMC leaders' are being shielded by the administration doing wrong. The Chief Minister and the administration want good people to leave the state and those left over will be tortured," she further charged.
