The Nadia police on Tuesday arrested five persons, including one who had allegedly assaulted BJP leader and the party's candidate Jay Prakah Majumdar during the by-poll to Karimganj assembly seat.
The arrested were slapped with charges under sections of the IPC and produced on Tuesday at the Tehatta sub divisional court which granted them bail on bonds of Rs 1500 each.
Saibal Kumar Dutta, the additional chief judicial magistrate of Tehatta granted them bail.
Among those arrested and granted bail was Tarikul Sheikh who had allegedly kicked Majumdar while polling was on on Monday.
