"We told the delegation that they will not be allowed to go to Baduria, as per the decision of the administration.The situation is still tense, that is why nobody is being allowed to go there.
"But they were adamant and said either they will court arrest or will proceed forward. So we had to detain them," a senior police officer of Bidhanagar police Commissionerate said.

Earlier in the day, two teams of the Left and the Congress, scheduled to visit the riot-hit areas of Baduria were also stopped by the police, citing law and order situation.
