The incident occurred when Left party workers were returning after concluding a campaign at the Election Commission office, triggering a brief confrontation in the area.
CPI(M) workers alleged that Abhishek Chatterjee, President of the Central Howrah Youth Trinamool, was also present at the spot during the incident. However, the Trinamool Congress leadership rejected the allegations and termed them baseless.
