Four persons, whose identities were not revealed, were arrested today and produced before a court in Diamond Harbour which remanded them to 10 days police custody, police said.
As many as four TMC supporters were killed and three others injured when suspected miscreants opened fire at them in Raidighi last night when they were holding a meeting, Superintendent of Police Pravin Kumar Tripathy said.
The miscreants have been absconding.
The injured, identified as Ayub Mollah, Kutub Mollah and Krishna Charan Mistri have been admitted to Raidighi hospital.
