Higher secondary examinee Barnali Saha and first-year under-graduate students Tiyasha Singh and Lokenath Das defied the attacks to cast their votes. So don’t worry, return home, we will cast your votes’,” Barnali said. “I told them that I am a first-time voter and I want to cast my vote. Tiyasha Singh, BA student of Kalyani College, cast her vote at another booth in Gayeshpur though she had been dragged out of a toto and beaten. Lokenath Das, a student of RBC College in Naihati, voted at a Gayeshpur booth and recorded the threats on his mobile camera.
