Kolkata/Murshidabad, Feb 20 (IBNS): Madrasa students and West Bengal Police clashed in West Bengal's Murshidabad district on Monday following a road blockade by the students, according to reports.

Demanding an immediate upgradation of their Madrasa from secondary (10th standard) to higher secondary (10+2 standard) level, students of Kaji Shah Madrasa at Beldanga area in Murshidabad district staged a demonstration at the educational institute and blocked a nearby road for hours on Monday, according to reports.

When police tried to lift the road blockade, students clashed with the cops and ransacked a police vehicle.

Later, a heavy police force went to the spot and policemen resorted to mild lathicharge to bring the situation under control.
