Speaking to rediff.com, Basu said, "When I visited the Civil Hospital I could only see lathi wielding policemen and not a single person from the administration."

"The policemen are provoking the crowd to retaliate in the presence of a superintendent of police-rank officer. Policemen verbally abused a woman thereby indicating who rules the roost," Basu said.

Both Basu and Karat were pushed around by policemen who did not want the CP1-M leaders to meet the injured in the hospital.
