Kolkata, July 30 (SocialNews.XYZ) Four panchayat polls winning candidates in West Bengal's South 24 Parganas district, allegedly kidnapped by activists of the ruling Trinamool Congress since July 27, finally returned to their homes on Sunday.
All four of them were from the opposition camp and after returning, they alleged that they were being kidnapped by Trinamool activists to join the ruling party.

Among the four, three -- Sushanta Mondal, Kamal Mondal and Puja Chattui -- were BJP candidates, and the fourth a CPI-M-backed Independent Narayan Mondal.
