In Bhatpara, North 24 Parganas district, two men were reportedly assaulted outside the Anglo-India Jute Mill.
Authorities escorted the injured individuals to the Bhatpara State General Hospital for medical treatment. Former BJP MP Arjun Singh accused Trinamool Congress supporters of firing shots, an allegation the ruling party has dismissed.
The incident coincided with a 12-hour state-wide shutdown called by the BJP to protest police actions during the 'Nabanna Abhijan' on Tuesday. The march, initiated by the newly-formed students' group Chatra Samaj, urged CM Mamata Banerjee’s resignation over a heinous crime at RG Kar Medical College and Hospital.
