Kolkata's Shahi Imam removes red beacon after defying ban
Kolkata's Shahi Imam Maulana Barkati removed the red beacon from his car on Saturday, days after defying the government's ban on the beacons. The Imam earlier defied the orders, saying state CM Mamata Banerjee had granted him permission to use the beacon. He later accused the RSS of targeting him, saying the beacon has been there for "hundreds of years".
