This development comes after Ghosh's remarked that there will be a "Sitalkuch-like incident everywhere".

Violence erupted at a polling booth at Sitalkuch in Cooch Behar during the fourth round of polling in West Bengal. The ruling TMC alleged that Central Forces opened fire twice at a polling booth where people were casting their votes, killing four party workers.
