Huge police force from the Narendrapur police station was rushed to the spot, who rescued the injured.
Trouble started this afternoon when miscreants suddenly attacked Mr Debnath’s office at a taxi stand near Garia station and went on a rampage. They beat up several people who came to meet the councillor seeking his signature on different civic issues.
The entire office virtually turned into a battlefield, locals said.
Police are investigating the case and suspected that the incident might be a sequel to an old rivalry between the injured and the miscreants.
Local Trinamul Congress sources said that the councillor didn’t entertain some illegal demands of the miscreants and as a result, the latter attacked his office and beat up some persons, who are close to him.
