TMC Supporters Vandalise BJP Worker's House in Bengal's Barrackpur Amid Win in Lok Sabha Polls

Barrackpur: On Tuesday, June 4, after winning the Lok Sabha seat in Barakpur, Trinamool Congress's Partha Bhowmik took out a victory procession in the Barrackpur municipality where the party's supporters ransacked the home of a Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) worker, Republic Bangla reported.

At the time of the incident, BJP worker, Babu Nag, was not at home but his mother, wife and children were. Not finding Babu at home, the TMC threw stones, glass bottles and bricks at the house, breaking windows and several other objects.

It's not clear if any major injury was reported in the incident, but the whole family spent their night in fear.

Following this incident, the Barrackpur municipality Chairman Uttam Das said that such incidents are not desirable and that whoever did this is not good. Adding that he will investigate the matter, Das said, "I will go with them so that they will not face any problem in the future and will look into the matter."

This isn't the first time violence erupted between TMC and BJP in Bengal. Last week a deadly clash between the two in Tamluk ahead of the Lok Sabha polls, claimed the life of a saffron party worker and injured one of TMC.

On Friday night, another TMC worker, identified as Sheikh Moibul died in Tamluk's Mahishadal as the party alleged BJP's hand. Moibul was taken to Basulia rural hospital in Mahishadal primarily and later he was referred to Tamluk District Hospital, where the TMC leader died. Denying the allegations, the BJP has claimed that the 42-year-old worker died as a result of internal clashes within the TMC camp.
