Agartala/IBNS: Two party offices of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), including its headquarters, were set on fire by unidentified people following violence in some districts of Tripura and the state's capital Agartala.

The CPM state headquarters Bhanu Smriti Bhavan and Dasarath Bhavan have been set ablaze.

Several vehicles outside the building were torched as well.

The violence erupted after the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) held a march to protest against the recent clashes with CPM in some districts.

The BJP reportedly claimed that bombs were hurled from the CPM office.

Meanwhile, the CPM blamed the BJP for the attack and tweeted what they claimed were videos of the same.

"Following videos shows how the BJP mobs attacked the state party office in Agartala. BJP is scared of the voices that are exposing it in the state and hence is resorting to terror," the tweet read.

Party offices in Bishalgarh and Kathalia districts were also targeted.
