Four individuals aspiring for school jobs, arrested during a protest near West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s residence in Kalighat, were granted bail by a city court on Monday.
All 55 women were previously granted bail on Saturday, while the four men had been in judicial custody until Monday.
Magistrate Sujata Mondal of the seventh Alipore Court approved bail for the four individuals on a bail bond of Rs 2,000 each.
Their legal representative argued in court that two of them were seated in a tea stall, while the other two were conducting a live show on a social media platform.
According to the prosecution, nine police personnel were injured during the protests.
The protesters maintained that despite successfully clearing the Teachers’ Eligibility Test (TET) for upper primary school teachers in West Bengal, they were denied job opportunities.
