Bengal BJP MP Arjun Singh suffers head injury in clash, blames police
BJP MP Arjun Singh suffered head injuries on Sunday when police allegedly indulged in baton charge at Kankinara in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district to lift a road blockade by a group of persons.
Kolkata: BJP MP Arjun Singh suffered head injuries on Sunday when police allegedly indulged in baton charge at Kankinara in West Bengal's North 24 Parganas district to lift a road blockade by a group of persons.
Singh claimed Barrackpore police commissioner Manoj Verma struck him, causing a gash on his head. The MP, wearing a blood-soaked shirt and a bandage on head, said that Verma led a police contingent which attacked a "peaceful" protest by the BJP over the capture of its party office at Shyamnagar.
A senior police officer, however, claimed that stones were being hurled during a clash between two groups at Kankinara and Singh suffered injuries in the melee.
Local sources said that a mob that had blocked a road started pelting stones at the police officers, as soon as they arrived at the spot.
