The Supreme Court of India has dismissed the West Bengal government's appeal challenging the bail granted to Sayan Lahiri, a leader of the Chhatra Samaj. Lahiri was arrested in connection with the violence during the 'March to Nabanna' protest on August 27. The protest was organized by students and led to significant unrest. The West Bengal government had sought to revoke Lahiri's bail, but the Supreme Court upheld the decision to grant him bail. The case is also linked to the Kolkata rape-murder protests.
