Amid the West Bengal elections, several people were injured after crude bombs were hurled by unidentified assailants in Nowda in Murshidabad district near a polling station.

A clash broke out in Murshidabad during the ongoing West Bengal Assembly elections as Trinamool Congress (TMC) workers raised slogans and entered into an altercation with police upon the arrival of Aam Janata Unnayan Party (AUJP) founder Humayun Kabir in the area.

The Supreme Court on Thursday stayed the Chhattisgarh High Court verdict on April 2 convicting former lawmaker Amit Jogi in the 2003 murder of a political rival. It deemed the sentence without hearing his side wrong.
