The source further informed that all of a sudden a group of BJP workers came and started intimidating Congress party workers which turned violent however didn’t last long as Congress workers left the area after BJP workers overpowered them.

Later, the Congress party workers staged a road blockade on the Agartala-Sabroom national highway demanding the arrest of the culprits.

Congress alleged that BJP party workers under the leadership of Mandal president Sushanta Deb have unleashed an attack on the Congress party workers following which many of them were injured.

Tension escalated further as hundreds of miscreants returned to the scene and clashed with the protesting Congress workers.
