Adhikary further stated that it was a planned attack and that the perpetrators had their faces covered before attacking them.

Commenting on both incidents, TMC's Alipurduar block president Manaranjan Dey said: "The goons who attacked our party members were sent by the BJP. Many such incidents were reported in the past few days. Several complaints have already been registered."
