Hooghly, West Bengal: Six persons were injured today in a clash between workers of Trinamool Congress and CPI(M) in Hooghly district of Arambagh Lok Sabha constituency where polling will be held tomorrow.
Police sources said the victims of the clash that took place in Gaurhati area of Arambag in the district belonged to both the parties and two persons, including CPI(M) local leader Tarun Roy, were arrested.
