One killed before polls in West Bengal

One person was killed early Wednesday morning in a clash between Trinamool Congress activists and CPI-M cadre at Baliguri on the outskirts of Kolkata, hours before the last phase of polling.

21-year-old Saminul Haque died on the way to a local hospital after being hit by a crude bomb during a clash.

However, polling began amid tight security in the area, which falls under Barasat Lok Sabha constituency.
