Apart from film personalities, representatives of women organisations, CSOs and student bodies took part at the protest.
Surjakanta said that the sit-in-protest was a part of the continuous agitation staged against the brutal attack on the filmmaker on March 2.He also said that the protest was organised to demand the attackers to clarify why Epu was subjected to such an inhuman act.
The chairman further said that it is unfortunate that nobody has come forward to claim the attack and spell out the reasons why they assaulted the innocent filmmaker.
On the other hand, neither police have developed any lead nor the Government has taken up any action regarding the incident till date, he lamented.
As such, Surjakanta said, they have decided to hold a public convention to decide the future course of agitation at Iboyaima Shumang Leela Shanglen on March 10 .
Representatives of women organisations, CSOs and student bodies would attend the convention, Surjakanta said.
