A clash erupted between the police and a mob at Nopara of Khairashol in Birbhum district on Friday afternoon after the men in uniform arrived to conduct a raid on a tip-off that smuggled coal had been stockpiled in the village.
As the police arrived to raid the village, some locals obstructed them resulting in a clash. According to local reports, coal brought illegally from Jharkhand was allegedly stored in the homes of some villagers from where they were smuggled to different states. On receiving information of illegal hoarding of coal, a huge police team went to raid the village on Friday.
