Post poll result clashes have broken out at three different places in Malda since yesterday. Violence began yesterday at Chari-Anantapur between supporters of the Left and the Congress. According to the police, Arabinda was struck on the head by a lump of rock and died. According to the Malda SP Mr Satyajit Bandyopadhyay, police raided the village but could not arrest the culprits as the attackers fled their homes.
The FB district general secretary Mr Ajit Saha said: “About 20 Congress supporters attacked our supporters and injured Arabinda. They continued striking him after he fell down, so killing him.
