He said that in polling booth No. 110 in Tarakeshwar under the Arambagh Lok Sabha constituency, the presiding officer was removed after a video clip emerged showing a local Trinamool Congress leader influencing voters.

In polling booth No. 226 in Howrah district, the presiding officer lodged a complaint of assault and intimidation by two polling agents, Aftab said.

“One candidate in Bangaon’s Thakurnagar was seen entering the booth wearing a party scarf. The presiding officer and the candidate have been showcaused,” Aftab said.

There was also a case of bomb hurling in Hingli in Bangaon constituency, which injured two persons, including a police constable.

“In total, 5 FIRs have been filed in this phase. Out of the total 42 arrests, 39 are preventive arrests,” said Additional Director General (law and order) Siddhi Nath Gupta.

He said that two FIRs were lodged in Dhanekhali in Hooghly Lok Sabha constituency. The presiding officer there lodged a complaint regarding EVM vandalism in which BJP candidate Locket Chatterjee was also named. Another FIR was lodged there against “unknown persons” for car vandalism.

Asked about the role played by the central forces in this phase, Gupta said: “We have got three complaints — from Uluberia, Gayeshpur and Baltipori in Howrah — against the central forces. We have informed the force coordinator.”

In total, 12 people received minor injuries while five vehicles, including some media cars, were damaged. Arms were also recovered from Jagaddal in North 24 Parganas district, he said.

Gupta also revealed that in Mohanpur in Barrackpore Lok Sabha constituency, an FIR was filed regarding a scuffle. Asked if BJP candidate Arjun Singh was named, he nodded positively.
