New Delhi: When he is not on the football field scoring those amazing goals for his club, Subhashish Bose is seen travelling around with his family. However, on Sunday evening, the Mohun Bagan captain was seen in a different role. Bose was seen protesting with his fellow ‘mariners’ in the wake of the gruesome r*ape-murder of a resident doctor in Kolkata.
Kolkata saw an unprecedented unity across the “Big Three”- Mohun Bagan, East Bengal and Mohammedan Sporting all came together to raise their voice against such an heinous crime.
The RG Kar incident was absolutely horrific and mind numbing, but the details coming out along with the authorities’ attempts to hide the truth and silence the people is beyond shocking. pic.twitter.com/RxMH0r6le3

“I’ve come here as a commoner…”- Subhashish Bose
Speaking about the protest when Subhashish said, “I’ve come here as a commoner. Justice is needed to ensure that this incident is never repeated. The culprits should receive proper punishment. We will continue our protests until justice is served.”
Furthermore, Subhashish Bose also commented on the fact that it was wonderful seeing the city unite against such a heinous crime as well as the lackadaisical attitude that the state government has shown. Although Bose wanted to play in the derbies, he said that the incident is much more important than mere derbies.
