Protests broke out in the Kakdwip area of West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district on Wednesday after an idol of the deity Kali was found damaged in a temple in Suryanagar village.

Residents refused to immerse the idol and blocked the national highway in protest, leading to traffic disruption, said the West Bengal Police in a post on social media.

The blockade lasted for hours “and ambulances carrying patients were stuck”, the police added.

“When the agitators did not relent and started pelting stones at the police, minimum force was resorted to by the police to disperse the mob,” it further said, adding that efforts are being made to identify those who damaged the idol.

The idol was immersed later in the day.

Following this, the Bharatiya Janata Party accused the Trinamool Congress government of protecting the culprits.

“The state administration tried its best to hush up the matter,” BJP leader Amit Malviya said on social media. “Instead of arresting the culprits, the police turned their force on the villagers.”

On the other hand, the TMC accused the BJP of trying to “communalise” the incident, The Times of India reported.

“The BJP is trying to communalise the incident and vitiate the atmosphere,” the newspaper quoted an unidentified TMC member as saying. “Let police complete the probe. We condemn any attempt to disturb the harmony in this area.”
