The incident took place in Cooch Behar s Sitalkuchi when voting was underway for the fourth phase of the Bengal Assembly Election.
The Trinamool Congress had written to the Election Commission, demanding action against the CISF personnel who opened fire at Sitalkuchi poll booth number 126.
The TMC claimed that all four people killed in the CISF firing were TMC supporters. BJP on the other hand claimed that miscreants had attacked the forces first, which led to them opening fire to protect themselves.
