“BJP workers scuffled with the police in West Bengal’s North 24 Parganas district during their agitation against alleged electoral malpractices in the recently concluded panchayat elections,” an officer said on July 14.
Police claimed that a few personnel were injured in a scuffle which took place when they attempted to lift a blockade by BJP workers near Akaipur railway station on Thursday. “A police vehicle was also damaged in the incident,” he said.
Union Minister of State Shantanu Thakur participated in a protest march at Akaipur, alleging rigging by TMC workers during the July 8 panchayat elections.
