The election to the Agriculture Development Bank at Thodupuzha in Idukki has been postponed following a dispute between United Democratic Front (UDF) and Left Democratic Front (LDF) workers in front of the polling station on Saturday.
A woman civil police officer who was injured in the melee was later admitted to a hospital. Tension prevailed in the area following the alleged seizure of fake identity cards, meant for distribution among voters, from the car of a UDF candidate at Muttom. The police have filed a case in this regard.
UDF leaders, however, alleged that the fake identity cards were received from the vehicle of an LDF candidate. UDF workers later took out a march to the police station demanding action against the LDF candidate.
