East Bengal fans across the world wanted their favourite club to play in Indian Super League. However, the tussle between Club officials and Shree Cement is still on, as a result fans are getting anxious as time is running out for SC East Bengal.
On the other hand, last week, East Bengal club officials decided not to sign the final agreement with investor Shree Cement Limited, further extending the ongoing crisis.
Hence the Red & Gold fans organized a peaceful protest against the club officials on 21st July, Wednesday afternoon.
The mandate was simple, since the officials are not dealing with professionally about the agreement, hence we all wanted them to Sign & Resign.
East Bengal fans were denied to get in front of the club gate by the officials’ hired muscles, hence they staged a massive protest at the Leslie Claudis street. The protest was happening in a peaceful manner, however, the club officials’ hired muscles started creating problem and Police started lathi charging brutally on East Bengal fans.
Fans got injured, few of them were arrested by the police who were later released after couple of hours.
The worst thing was still waiting, the officials’ goons destroyed of our own Rabi Shankar Sen’s personal car.
The attack was vehemently condemned by many prominent sports persons including Mr Phillipe de Rider, former East Bengal coach, AIFF General Secretary Mr. Kushal Das and Mr. Saji Prabhakaran former FIFA South Asia Development Officer.
Various fan clubs of Indian football have stood in solidarity with the East Bengal fans.
