Supporters of BJP and RJD have heated exchange over voting irregularities before they start firing shots.
One person was killed and three others injured in post-poll violence in Bihar's Saran district on May 21, police said. The incident happened in the Bada Telma area near Bhikhari Thakur Chowk.
An altercation broke out between two groups, said to be supporters of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), over allegations of irregularities during polling that happened a day earlier in the area, amid which shots were fired.
One person was killed on the spot, and three others were injured, a police officer said.
The deceased was identified as 25-year-old Chandan Yadav, he added.
"The injured persons were admitted to the nearest hospital. Later, two of them were sent to Patna for better treatment," Superintendent of Police Gaurav Mangla said.
"A case has been registered and an investigation is underway. Three persons have been arrested in connection with today's incident," he said.
Internet was also suspended in the district to prevent a flare-up, he added.
RJD president Lalu Prasad's daughter Rohini Acharya was the Mahagathbandhan candidate in Saran against BJP MP Rajiv Pratap Rudy.
