Protestors torched a police station and beat up policemen after the recovery of the dead body of a minor girl from a pond at Gangoa village in Kaliyaganj of North Dinajpur on 21 April.
Local people had put up a protest and even clashed with the police, while demanding exemplary punishment for the guilty.
According to a member of the North Dinajpur CPI-M committee, Bharatendu Chowdhury, even the 60-bed hospital lacked in infrastructure.
A top police officer at the Kaliyaganj Police Station said 22 BJP members had been arrested for forcing people to close their shops.
Residents of different wards gathered in their respective areas under the Kaliyaganj Municipality in the afternoon yesterday as someone spread the rumour that the novel coronavirus would not attack anyone who would buy and take that injection for the said price.
