West Bengal: Bomb blast at TMC office kills party worker, injures five others

The local police revealed that a portion of the party office got completely damaged in the blast. The injured have been admitted at Midnapore Medical College and one of them is critical. A large contingent of police personnel has been deployed in the area. The locals in the area claimed that the intensity of blast suggests that bombs were stocked inside the party office.

Refuting the allegations TMC said outsiders are responsible for the blast. While speaking to express, TMC District President said, “We suspect bombs were thrown by outsiders on our party office. The office was open and many TMC members were present inside the office. One of our party members died and about six persons are under treatment at the hospital. Police will probe the matter”. As per sources, the party office where the incident took place is about 8 years old and is known one in the area.

Meanwhile, the BJP has alleged that the blast took place due to crude bombs stock pilled inside the party office.

“It is nothing new, TMC is known for stocking crude bombs to create an atmosphere in the area and when such incidents take place they put the entire blame on someone else”, said a local BJP leader.
