Kolkatta, May 12th : At least 15 people were injured in clashes between rival political activists in West Bengal, where 17 constituencies are voting today in the last round of the massive general election.
Security forces were called in to Haroa in the Basirhat constituency, 40 km from Kolkata, after four people were shot at on their way to a polling station. At least a dozen others allegedly suffered knife injuries in the fighting.
Both the ruling Trinamool Congress and its rival CPM blamed each other for the clashes.
