KOCH BIHAR, 10 April, 2021 (TON): On Saturday the ruling party alleged that five Trinamool Congress workers have been shot dead in West Bengal’s Kooch Behar amid polling in 44 seats of the Indian state for the fourth phase of assembly elections, said the media.
Gunshots were fired after the BJP and Trinamool Congress workers clashed in the Sitalkuchi constituency, said the sources.
The Trinamool Congress said,"In booth No. 126 of Sitalkuchi, 5 people have been shot dead after BJP captured the booth."
The party, in the letter by Trinamool MP Derek O'Brien said, "This is a grave violation of the law and the Model Code of Conduct on manifold accounts. I strongly urge you to escalate the matter on priority and begin an intervention at the earliest to apprehend the perpetrators."
However, the Election Commission has sought a report on the matter.
