West Bengal: Four dead and six injured after a crude bomb goes off in Malda

Four people were left dead and six others injured after a crude bomb went off at West Bengal's Malda district on Sunday night.

According to sources, the deceased and the injured were making crude bombs at a house in Malda district's Baishnabnagar when accidentally one such bomb went off. Last night, when the high intensity bomb exploded, it created a sound and shook the entire area.

Immediately, RAF and district police officials reached the spot and shifted all to Malda Medical College and Hospital. While four were declared brought dead, six others are serious and are undergoing treatment at the hospital.

Locals allege that the house was being used by the inhabitants as a factory to manufacture bombs. Meanwhile, police officials are posted at the blast site and they have recovered explosives and other bomb making materials. Police have sealed the house for further examination.

TMC has claimed that all four belonged to their party and bombs were hurled at them since they refused to vote for Congress in the ongoing elections.
