One Trinamul Congress supporter was injured after violence erupted in South 24-Parganas' Gosaba ahead of Lok Sabha elections.
Six followers of Dera Sacha Sauda were arrested for allegedly damaging a petrol pump and a car at Chal village near here, the police said today.
The Dera followers damaged the petrol pump and a car on August 25 after the sect head Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh was convicted by a CBI court in Panchkula in a 2002 rape case.
The police claimed that the arrested Dera followers tried to set the petrol pump on fire, but failed to do so.
