Tension in city following bomb attack

Kolkata, May 11. (PTI): Two Trinamool Congress supporters were seriously injured in a post-poll violence in eastern city's Tanga area when their motorcycle came under bomb attack allegedly by CPI(M) activists today, police said.

The injured were admitted to hospital where the condition of one was stated to be serious. RAF personnel were deployed in the area along with armed policemen in view of simmering tension.

Meanwhile, Trinamool Congress today threatened to move the National Human Rights Commission with complaints against the city police for the drowning of party supporter Topi Das in the eastern city's Beliaghata area during disturbances at the time of Assembly polls yesterday.

TC sources alleged that the police beat him up mercilessly even as Das pleaded for his life and sought police help to save him from drowning in a lake in the area.
