Bomb Attack Injures Five TMC Workers in Pre-Election Clash with ISF

At least five Trinamool Congress workers were injured after bombs were allegedly hurled at them by ISF supporters in Bhangore, West Bengal. ISF MLA Nawsad Siddique refuted the claims and accused TMC workers of attacking their own. The incident occurred as Bhangore prepares for upcoming elections.

At least five Trinamool Congress workers were injured after bombs were hurled at them allegedly by ISF supporters at Bhangore in South 24 Parganas district of West Bengal, police said on Friday.

Bhangore's Indian Secular Front (ISF) MLA Nawsad Siddique, however, dismissed the allegations and said that the TMC workers hurled bombs at ISF supporters but their own party men were injured in the incident.

Bhangore under Jadavpur Lok Sabha constituency will go to polls in the last phase on Saturday.

The incident took place when the TMC workers were returning home on Thursday night.

The injured TMC workers were admitted to a state-run hospital in Kolkata. State minister Aroop Biswas, Jadavpur's TMC candidate Saayoni Ghosh and party legislator Saokat Molla visited the injured persons at the medical establishment.

Siddique dismissed the allegations, saying, ''Fearing defeat in Bhangore, TMC is orchestrating such incidents on purpose and putting the blame on us. Yesterday, supporters of Saokat Molla hurled bombs at ISF workers but their own party men were injured in the incident.'' Meanwhile, the Election Commission has ordered Molla not to step out of his Canning Purba constituency on the day of his polling.
