Three people were killed in West Bengal during violent protests over alleged irregularities in Waqf properties, prompting the Calcutta High Court to order the immediate deployment of central forces.

The unrest, which erupted across several districts, saw clashes between protestors and police, resulting in multiple injuries and damage to public property. The court’s directive came in response to growing concerns over law and order, as the state government faced criticism for failing to control the situation. The central forces are expected to assist local authorities in restoring peace and ensuring the safety of public assets.
