Both the CPI-M and the Bhumi Uchched Pratirodh Committee (BUPC) had taken out separate processions when the fighting occurred.
The CPI-M supporters were celebrating the party's win in the Haldia municipal elections while BUPC wanted to surround the Nandigram police station.
Even though the proposed SEZ in the area was scrapped after violence claimed nearly 21 lives there, the CPI-M and BUPC cadres have been clashing against each other.
