Kolkata: A total of 13 people have been arrested after a Trinamool Congress (TMC) worker was beaten to death at Paschimpara in Arjunpur of Baguiati in West Bengal’s North 24 Praganas in a clash between two factions of the party early on Sunday.

The deceased has been identified as Sanjeev Das aka Potla who according to the police had several cases against him, Indian Express reported.
