"We have already received a preliminary report from the district magistrate and are now scrutinising it. Simultaneously a special investigation team has been set up comprising the Additional SP and local SDPO," Joint CEO Jaydip Mukherjee said here today.
Five more persons were arrested today in connection with the incident taking the total number of arrests to 15, all of whom were released on interim bail, Mukherjee said.
In his FIR at Asoknagar police station the next day, Gayen said the TMC workers heckled him for ordering removal of party flags and posters acting on the EC's directive and also threatened him with dire consequences.
Trinamool Congress' all India general secretary Mukul Roy today met the state's Chief Electoral Officer Sunil Gupta to deny that his partymen were involved in the incident and termed the allegations as false and fabricated and aimed at maligning the party's image before the election.
"Nobody has any right to malign our party's image," Roy said.
Earlier, senior party leader and state's Food Minister Jyotipriyo Mallick demanded a high-level inquiry into the case.
