Trinamool Congress workers alleged that four of the party supporters were injured in the attack by CPI(M) activists. However, the police said, no injured person had been taken to hospital from the affected villages.

On Monday six Trinamool activists and a constable were injured after armed men, allegedly the CPI(M) supporters, raided houses of Trinamool Congress workers at Ishanpara, Katapukur and other adjacent villages with bombs and firearms.
