Tensions flared in Nandigram, West Bengal, as violence erupted, leaving a female BJP worker dead and seven others injured, just days before the sixth phase of the Lok Sabha elections.
In response, BJP supporters took to the streets, setting shops ablaze and blocking roads with obstacles, prompting increased security measures, including the deployment of Rapid Action Force and central forces alongside local police.
