Heavy polling of over 75 per cent was recorded till 4 pm in assembly elections in Nagaland on Tuesday, which was marred by a clash between supporters of the ruling NPF and the BJP which claimed a life and left two persons injured.
Election Commission officials here said more than 75 per cent of the total 11.70 lakh voters exercised their franchise till 4 pm. The clashes between workers of the Naga People's Front and the Bharatiya Janata Party were reported in Zunheboto district, where one person was shot dead, the official said.
"Initially, some people were preventing voters from entering the polling station. Then another group came and the clashes erupted in Akuluto assembly constituency," Nagaland police chief Rupin Sharma was reported as saying. "The two groups indulged in firing, which compelled the police to open fire. As of now, we are not able to ascertain the source and cause of the injuries," Sharma said.
