Getting 1969 news archives, seeking your inputs

Greetings,

Hello, this time looking for following little more old details.

One of the nights in first half of the 1969 ' @ Rabindra Sarobar Stadium, Calcutta went too awry due to technical faults in audio equipment.

Not only famous actor Ashok Kumar could not perform but upset mob indulged in en masse public molestation and sexual violence against women present at the stadium.

The incidence was embarrassing moment in Calcutta's history and has been covered in official biography of Jyoti Basu then West Bangal's home minister to some extent. But some more encyclopedically important details are needed like:

1) date of incidence,

2) Related discussion in West Bengal assembly,

3) What were conclusions from police investigations, judicial inquiry and subsequent judicial remedy (punishments) if any.

4) Then there have been allegations against CPI M leaders or Jyoti Basu to have called incidence " the rise of the proletariat against the bourgeoisie".^[1] Is it supported by news sources? Is it said on the same incidence or it was on some other incidence and it is being mixed up in the memories of later generations.

a)Valicha, Kishore (1996) 'Dadamoni: The Authorized Biography of Ashok Kumar' Viking. ISBN 9780670872718 need to be checked if it has made any mention of above said 1968 incidence. (Google book preview is not available)

b) News reports archives from West Bengal; The Telegraph and Anand Bazar Patrika are famous from Calcutta but incidence might have been covered by national (English) media too. Those times media was largely left dominated but some coverage must have been there in Bengali and English. Need your help or guidance in, how we can reach to these news archive sources to get relevant details.

I know this task would be long enough duration and might need to seek assistance from more people. Your inputs will be helpful in understanding how to go about finding this info.

Thanks and warm regards
