A crude bomb explosion rocked a school building in the West Bengal’s North 24 Paraganas on Saturday triggering panic among the students and teachers. The crude bombs were allegedly thrown on the roof of the institution at about 11. 45 a.m. when classes were underway at Titagarh High school.
Senior police officials from the Barrackpore Police Commissionerate reached the school and started a probe into the incident. Barrackpore MP Arjun Singh reached the school and said that the hurling of crude bombs on the roof of the school was an attempt to threaten either the institution or some officials. The MP who recently switched sides from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to the Trinamool Congress said that the police would soon apprehend the culprits. Nobody was injured in the crude bomb explosion on the roof of the school.
Responding to the remarks of the MP, Hooghly BJP MP Locket Chatterjee said that the crude bomb explosions were occurring everywhere and not even small children were spared. CPI(M) leader Sujan Chakraborty said that West Bengal was sitting on a heap of gunpowder where explosions were occurring on a daily basis.
