Local people alleged that the shockwave of blast could be felt from kilometers. Still body fragments are found scattered throughout the site.
Such blasts have occured before in places like Khagragarh, all are linked to TMC party supporting jih@di terrorists with same cover (2/5)
With panchayat elections coming near this is just preparation by TMC
