TMC leader Kunal Ghosh alleged that the explosion tore apart the roof of the house belonging to a relative of BJP leader Nimai Das in Hasnabad area. He questioned why the CBI or the NSG shouldn’t intervene to investigate the incident. Ghosh claimed Das was often seen with senior BJP functionaries such as B L Santosh during BJP events.

“All have witnessed how the CBI along with the NSG enacted a drama at Sandeshkhali in Basirhat in the name of recovery of firearms from a house on Friday”, Ghosh said. “Today, an explosion took place at the house of the BJP leader’s relative. Why shouldn’t the CBI or the NSG step in to probe the incident”, he asked Police said they were investigating the matter. “We demand that Das should be taken into custody for interrogation,” Ghosh said.

BJP spokesman Samik Bhattacharya said, “The TMC must clarify the source of the arms in Sandeshkhali. Regarding the incident at Hasnabad, there should be a proper probe.”
