Repolling held in 2 north Indian states
One paramilitary trooper was killed and four other people injured in a landmine blast as repolling was held yesterday at hundreds of centres in two Indian states where rigging was suspected during state elections, officials said.
One Border Security Force (BSF) member died and another was injured in the explosion which also wounded three election officials in Jharkhand state's northern Palamau district where Maoist rebels are active, police said.
Violence, particularly in Maoist areas, as well as voting irregularities led to the fresh balloting at more than 700 stations in Jharkhand and Bihar.
