Informing more he said, as quoted by NDTV, “The police immediately rushed to the spot and the attackers fled the spot…”
The Left party alleged that Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is behind the attack on the activists. Belonia sub-division secretary Tapas Dutta said, “Those who attacked our rally were all hooligans of BJP. The police were present when we were attacked.” He added that a complaint has been registered at the local police station.

Sinha said, “This is not in the culture of BJP to attack political opponents. Our party had nothing to do if some local people attacked them. BJP cant be blamed for it.”
