A Congress supporter who was present said they had gone to Sarkarpara for door-to-door campaigning, leaving behind their vehicles. Hooligans of the ruling party, he said, had meanwhile come and broken the windshields of their cars and smashed bikes.
When they tried to resist, the attackers turned on them, the Congress supporter said. In the violence that followed, some of them were injured.
The injured have been taken to the Gomati district hospital for treatment.
