Kolkata: What was being feared as a distinct possibility -- and the portends of which were clearly evident all through campaigning and until three phases of polling in the 2021 assembly elections in West Bengal -- came through in the most ugly and unfortunate terms possible on Saturday morning as five people lost their lives in electoral violence in the fourth phase of electioneering in the state. A first-time voter was killed in violence while returning home after casting his vote at a polling booth in Cooch Behar district, while four others lost their lives when Central Forces opened fire on an armed mob outside polling booth No 126 at Jor Patki in the Seetalkuchi constituency of the same district later on Saturday morning.
