Raniganj/Kolkata, Mar 26 (IBNS): A day after Ram Navami festival was celebrated to mark the birthday of Hindu deity Lord Rama, a clash allegedly broke out in West Bengal's Raniganj, media reports said.

The clash killed one person and a cop, according to media reports.

Union minister and BJP leader Babul Supriyo accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of playing 'appeasement' politics which led to the incident.

In a tweet, Supriyo said: "The severely injured hand of Deputy Commisioner of Police Arindam Dutta Chowdhury. The police officers are caught between the crossfire of having to do their duty or refrain from doing it- a result of @MamataBanerjee Diktat with Appeasement of the Minority."

Supriyo is an MP from Asansol, which is a neighbourhood of Raniganj.
