DGP West Bengal Police & Kolkata Police Commissioner summoned by West Bengal CM Jagdeep Dhankhar in wake of continually rising post-poll incidents
KOLKATA: West Bengal was in the throes of widespread violence on Monday that allegedly left several BJP workers dead and injured in clashes, and shops being looted, prompting the Union home ministry to seek a factual report from the state government on incidents of attack on opposition workers.
Videos of arson at a BJP office with bamboo poles and roof tiles burning amid worried cries of people running away from the premises were shared by the party. Photos of dead men, and people scampering with apparel looted from a shop were everywhere on social media.
