A day after a clash between supporters of the Janata Dal (United) and Jan Suraaj in Bihar’s Mokama left one person dead, the Election Commission (EC) Friday sought a report on the incident from the state’s Director General of Police.
The incident came just a week before phase one of the Bihar Assembly elections on November 6. The second phase is scheduled for November 11.
The incident took place Thursday afternoon when a fight allegedly broke out between groups supporting the two political parties.
A 75-year-old resident of Tartar village, Dular Chand Yadav, was found dead inside a vehicle at the site of the clash, police said.
