Clashes between workers and supporters of the Trinamool Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party in Sandeshkhali on Saturday led to three deaths.
After the incident the shops remained closed in most parts of Basirhat after a 12-hour bandh called by the BJP on Monday to protest against the killing of two of their supporters. The saffron party also observed a 'Black Day' across the state as a sign of protest.
The clashes began at a hatchery in Sandeshkhali, which was also used as an informal meeting ground for BJP supporters. The Trinamool supporters allegedly barged in on Saturday afternoon when most of the villagers were celebrating 'Jamai Sasti' a Bengali tradition where the son-in-law is treated to a meal at his in-laws' house.
