Fresh violence broke out here on Saturday after local citizens protested the alleged rape and killing of a teenage girl a day before, said police officials.
Tear gas and force were used to disperse an unruly mob in Kaliaganj in West Bengal's North Dinajpur which clashed with the police deployed in the area very near the border with Bangladesh.
Several shops and e-rickshaws were burnt by the mob which demanded the arrest of the culprits, before the situation was brought under control. Earlier in the day, BJP and ABVP organised protests against the rape and killing in various places in the state.
Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel were brought in to bring the situation under control, officers said, adding that some of the violent protestors were detained.
Locals also put up road blockades using burnt tyres, and pelted stones at policemen, they said.
