A 26-year-old labourer was reportedly killed in West Bengal's Malda during the nominations for panchayat polls after he was caught in the crossfire by two factions of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) party. Opposition parties alleged that TMC workers assaulted their candidates in several districts for filing nominations. A BJP leader was allegedly stabbed near a district magistrate's office.
