"The report submitted by the West Bengal government seemed to be quite sketchy and with none details of the incident like how it happened or who might be behind it. we've asked the state administration to furnish more details," press agency PTI quoted a poll official as saying.

The West Bengal government had submitted its report over the Nandigram incident on Friday and mentioned the presence of an enormous crowd at the spot but had not mentioned about the "four to five" men who had allegedly attacked Banerjee.

In its report, the TMC government had also said that there was no clear video footage of the alleged attack on the West Bengal Chief Minister in Nandigram.
