“The perpetrators vandalised vehicles, physically assaulted workers of the TMC and outraged the modesty of the female party workers. This was accompanied by theft of property including mobile phones belonging to supporters of the party,” Dev said in the FIR.

Speaking to reporters, Dev, who is overseeing the party’s political activities in Tripura along with other leaders, said TMC is preparing to contest the scheduled upcoming civic body elections and would finalise a strategy after dates for the polls are declared.
