Lawyers gherao Aroop Biswas at Alipore Court premises with "eggs" in hand; Police rescue him

The political drama surrounding former West Bengal Sports Minister Aroop Biswas escalated into open hostility on Thursday evening when he was aggressively pelted with eggs while leaving the Alipore Court premises. After being cornered for nearly three hours inside the private chambers of advocate Gopal Halder, a heavily reinforced police contingent finally managed to breach the civilian blockade to extract the Trinamool Congress (TMC) politician. The moment Biswas stepped out into the open courtyard under physical law enforcement cover, a literal rain of eggs was unleashed by an agitated crowd composed of practicing lawyers and common citizens, severely testing the local security apparatus.

The high-voltage confrontation capped off a chaotic day for the former minister, who had been visually "missing" from the public eye since becoming entangled in the high-profile Messi corruption case. Earlier on Thursday morning, Biswas had suddenly surfaced at the Bidhannagar South Police Station, where investigators subjected him to an intense three-and-a-half-hour cross-examination cycle. Following his release from the station, he briefly wandered through different transit sectors of Kolkata, interacting cryptically with media reporters twice without ever clarifying his final operational destination before secretly ducking into the Alipore legal compound.

Once his precise location inside the lawyer's chamber was leaked, an angry mob rapidly consolidated outside the room's perimeter, aggressively demanding his immediate ouster and chanting anti-corruption slogans. As structural tensions within the court building reached a breaking point, chamber workers turned off the interior lights to obscure Biswas from view, but the protesters remained completely unyielding. Aggrieved advocates stood by the windows brandishing eggs, mockingly chanting sports references and warning that no high-profile individual accused of theft would find safe shelter inside the judicial complex.

The lengthy standoff concluded only after a specialized police vehicle arrived to perform the emergency extraction. Officers formed a protective human shield to move the former sports minister through the aggressive crowd, pushing him into a secure police vehicle that had been specifically wrapped in protective steel wire netting to withstand direct impacts. Despite the vehicle's structural barriers, multiple projectiles successfully struck the transport frame as it aggressively accelerated away from the chaotic court compound, highlighting the deep public anger defining the regional political ecosystem.
