Protests erupt in Kanpur over India-Bangladesh Test match as right-wing groups demand cancellation

Right-wing activists protested near Green Park stadium in Kanpur, demanding the cancellation of the India-Bangladesh test match. They cited concerns over alleged atrocities against Hindus in Bangladesh as their reason for the demonstration. The protest took place about 1,500 meters from the stadium, with participants chanting and reciting prayers. Police intervened to prevent the protest from escalating and received a memorandum from the activists before dispersing them peacefully. This protest follows a recent incident where an FIR was filed against members of a Hindu group for obstructing traffic during a similar protest. Police maintained a heavy presence to ensure safety during the match.
