Over 300 had turned up during namaaz with posters and placards demanding BJP leader Nupur Sharma’s arrest for her remarks on the Prophet.

One person has been injured in a shooting outside the Bangladesh deputy High Commission in Kolkata this afternoon where over 300 had turned up during namaaz with posters and placards demanding BJP leader Nupur Sharma’s arrest.

Nupur Sharma was suspended by the BJP while her party colleague Naveen Kumar Jindal was expelled from the party last week for their comments on the Prophet following international condemnation.

The protests in Kolkata began around 1pm.
