The unruly cadres of the MJF-N had also vandalized motorbikes being parked on the roadside, said the NC Mahottari.
Among those injured in the incident are Congress cadres including Arbinda Yadav, Jansur Rain, Sikindar Paswan, Navin Kumar Yadv, Sanjit Paswan and Ganesh Yadav, said NC candidate Yadav.
