Burdwan: Two CPM workers were killed after the third phase of polling in 62 assembly seats in West Bengal.
The CPM poll agents were beaten up and assailants later hurled crude bombs at them. Both the agents suffered major injuries and succumbed to those during treatment. The violence continued in Burdwan even after the voting concluded.
The party is blaming ruling Trinamool Congress for the violence against its cadres.
Two people were also injured in a separate incident in the city. A CPM worker's ear was slashed and the leg of another party supporter fractured in a scuffle in front of a booth number 78.
Meanwhile, heavy turnout of 81.62% was recorded in 17 seats of Nadia, 79.29% in 22 seats of Murshidabad and 78.26% in 16 seats of Burdwan.
