Both men were rushed to the state-run SSKM Hospital, where one of them was declared dead.
The jawan reportedly fired at a police car also.
“The incident took place at around 6.30 pm. One CISF jawan was killed while another is badly injured. We have arrested the accused,” Kolkata Police Commissioner Vineet Goyal said.
