In a protest carried out by ‘Uttarkanya Abhijan’ called by Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), a riot broke out between BJP protesters and police men. The protest was going on as the promises made by state government were not fulfilled and benefits from welfare scheme were not delivered to people of Bengal. During the clash one BJP supporter was killed as police used water canons and tear gas bombs when protesters tried to break barricades setup by the police. In return stones were pelted towards police men injuring many.
