A group of angry high-school students vandalised a police vehicle during a clash over the distribution of bicycles in West Bengal's Murshidabad district on Saturday afternoon, police said.

According to police, a clash broke out among the students of Kashipur High School in Murshidabad's Rejinagar over the distribution of bicycles under a state government project.

"A section of students got agitated for not getting the bicycles on Saturday's allotment and clashed among themselves. Stones pelted by them hit the police van parked at the school premises and broke the windscreen," said Prasanta Dutta, Officer in-charge of Rejinagar police station.

"The students were upset with the school authorities but had no personal grudge against the police. The situation is normal now," Dutta added.
