Lok Sabha elections | Scuffles, protests mar polling in three Bengal constituencies

The Hindu  

Sporadic incidents of scuffle between supporters of political parties, recovery of crude bombs and angry protests against MLAs headlined the first phase of Lok Sabha election in West Bengal on Friday. In the Cooch Behar Lok Sabha seat, where the EC had deployed 112 companies of Central Armed Police Forces, political parties levelled allegations of violence against each other. At Dinhata in Cooch Behar, a group of BJP supporters raised slogans against State Minister Udayan Guha. BJP MLAs Sikha Chattopadhyay from Dabgram Phulbari and Baren Chandra Barman faced protests from Trinamool supporters when they visited polling booths in their constituencies.
