An explosion shook a Trinamool Congress leader’s car in the South 24 Parganas Kulpi area during the night, causing the garage roof to be blown off. Fortunately, no injuries were reported from the incident. The area has been under tension following the explosion.
The Trinamool Congress has accused the Indian Secular Front (ISF) of being responsible for the explosion, while the ISF has countered by alleging that the Trinamool leader had stored bombs in the car for the upcoming Assembly elections, leading to the blast. Police have initiated an investigation into the matter based on these claims from both sides.
Residents of Chhamanabuni village in South 24 Parganas Kulpi area were startled by a loud explosion in the middle of the night, which resulted in shattered car windows and a blown-off asbestos roof of the garage where Kutubuddin Paik’s car was parked. Kutubuddin, the booth president of the village, has previously experienced a bombing at his house and has once again accused ISF, particularly its MLA Nawsad Siddiqui, of being involved.
The Trinamool leader has demanded the arrest of those responsible, attributing the incident to ISF’s actions. On the other hand, ISF has refuted these claims, asserting that the explosion was caused by bombs stored in the Trinamool leader’s car. Local authorities have sealed off the area, removed the damaged car, and launched an investigation into the explosion’s circumstances, which have heightened tensions in the region ahead of the elections.
