Darjeeling MP Raju Bista in a press release alleged being attacked along with BJP and GJM (Gorkha Janmukti Morcha) workers by a group of 80-100 TMC goons en route to Sinji in Kalimpong today.
As the family did not make it to the Durga puja pandal on Vijayadashami, the neighbours visited the Bandhu Pal's residence and later alerted the police.
The BJP delegation had visited Bhatpara to review the situation and investigate the reports of violence against BJP workers after violent clashes on Thursday claimed the lives of 2 people and injured several.
Bombs were hurled and several bullets were fired in the air during the clash between the two groups near a newly constructed police station, which was scheduled for inauguration on Thursday.
