In a contentious turn of events, two political groups clashed during the nomination process for Madrassa school committees in West Bengal's Purba Medinipur and South 24 Parganas districts, according to police reports.
Tensions flared in Nandigram, Purba Medinipur, when CPI(M) supporters alleged obstruction and assault by Trinamool Congress (TMC) supporters while filing nominations. The TMC refuted these claims, asserting their actions were intended to prevent disruptions by outsiders.
Similarly, in Bhangar, South 24 Parganas, violence broke out between Indian Secular Front (ISF) and TMC supporters, prompting police to use a lathi charge to quell the unrest. Authorities have deployed a significant police force to ensure peace in the area.
