Agartala: Two BJP workers were injured seriously in an attack last evening at Belonia of South Tripura allegedly by party’s student wing activists of Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) apparently in retaliation of some previous enmity.
However, despite police complaints, nobody has been arrested so far. The injured persons have been shifted to a local hospital and doctors stated them out of danger.
The miscreants attacked them with iron rods and bamboo sticks at Belonia College Chowmuhani market, police said.
