Earlier on Wednesday evening, clashes had erupted between Hindus and Muslims after a group of local Muslim youths allegedly obstructed a Hindu procession, which was on its way to immerse clay-idol of the Goddess Laxmi during the conclusion of Tihar festival.
Amid the escalating tension in the town, the local administration imposed the indefinite curfew order in Krishnanagar to control the situation since Thursday morning. However, during the clash between protestors and police, an Indian national and resident of Krisnanagar-2, Suraj Kumar Pandey was shot dead at around 11:15 on Thursday when police opened fire on demonstrators during the curfew.
Following the incident, local administration and protesters reached a 10-point deal on Thursday mid-night.
