MALDA, June 26:- At least 10 people including media and policemen were injured in a clash between Congress and CPI-M workers over a controversy regarding the formation of the panchayat board at Kazigram in English Bazaar police station this afternoon.
Police had to fire four rounds in the air to disperse the mob, which had resorted to firing and damaging police vehicle. Six police personnel including the I C, English Bazaar and other officials were injured in the incident.
One of the police men was critically injured and had to be admitted to the hospital. The photographer of a private television channel sustained bullet injury in his left leg and was admitted in Malda district hospital.
Two police vehicles were damaged in the skirmish. Ten people were arrested in this connection by the police to control the situation.
“Trouble began following provocative statements issued by the Congress MLA, Mr. K N Choudhury”, alleged Mr. S K Sarkar, ASP, Malda. The MLA also engaged in a heated argument with the ASP.
Trouble broke out after the CPI won the Kazigram panchayat pradhan’s post with help from the Congress outwitting the CPI-M.
Though the CPI-M district secretary, Mr. Jiban Moitra, held the Congress responsible for violence at Kazigram, a group of Congress worker took out a rally in protest against attack on Mr. Choudhury. #
