West Bengal: TMC's group clash triggers tension at Basanti

Kolkata, July 10 (IBNS): For the third time since June 23, several houses were ransacked during a tussle between two rival groups of Trinamool Congress (TMC) at Nebukhali village under Basanti Police Station limits in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district on Monday, reports said.

According to reports, followers of two local TMC leaders engaged in a clash with each other in the morning.

Several crude bombs were charged and bullets were fired during the hour-long clash while more than 15 houses at the village were vandalized, local media reports said.

Later, a heavy police force along with Rapid Action Force (RAF) rushed to the scene and brought the situation under control.

A local police official told IBNS that at least 25 live crude bombs were recovered from the area.

"We did not hear that any bullet was fired during the clash," the official said. "Our search operation is underway there to nab those persons involved in the clash."

Denying all allegations against them, a local TMC leader claimed that there was no group clash in TMC at Basanti and Revolutionary Socialist Party (RSP)-sheltered goons were responsible for the incident.

Earlier on Jun 23 and Jun 27, few people were injured and several houses, shops and motorcycles were torched after a clash broke out between two groups of state's ruling party at Basanti's Kanthalberia Kaltala and Nebukhali areas respectively.
