Kolkata: A seven-year-old girl was injured when she was beaten up allegedly by miscreants allied to West Bengal's ruling Trinamool Congress after her grandfather, a CPI-M supporter, voted in the fifth phase of the assembly polls in the southern outskirts of the city.
The victim family alleged that the miscreants attacked their house in Haridevpur area of Behala East constituency on Saturday night.
"They were angry as my father-in-law cast his vote earlier in the day. The attackers are Trinamool activists," alleged the child's mother Basanti Bor.
"They were calling for my dadu (grandfather). Then they entered by pushing the gate, which struck me. I started bleeding. When they saw my injury, they hit the same area with a baton, after which I started bleeding heavily," said the girl.
Some Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) supporters were also reportedly injured in the attack.
"No one from my party was involved. But I must say such incidents are undesirable. It shouldn't have happened. It has caused me great pain," said Mr Chatterjee.
