However, the family members managed to save themselves from any injury.

Receiving the information, Badharghat MLA Mimi Majumder hurried to spot.

Acknowledged of the entire incident, Mimi Majumder strongly condemned the incident while raising the arrow of allegations towards the opposition CPI-M.

“Being aware of lost support from the common people and just for coming to power by hook or crook, CPIM-Congress hoodlums are conducting such incidents of violence”, she said.

Majumder further added, “Tapan Sarkar and his family were long time CPIM supporters but recently joined the BJP and were working for the party”.

“The incident is a clear outcome of political violence”, said Mimi.

Adding to lend possible support to the affected family Mimi demanded the police administration to take stern action against the miscreants.
