Heavy security forces were deployed to the scene.
A political row broke out after the incident as the Bharatiya Janata Party accused the ruling Trinamool Congress in the state.
“Several bombings and salvage of explosives had taken place in Bhatpara-Jagaddal belt under Barrackpore subdivision in North 24 Parganas district and the involvement of TMC has been proved in every incident,” BJP state president Sukanta Majumdar told reporters.
Meanwhile, TMC denied BJP’s allegation, calling it “false”.
TMC state spokesman Jay Prakash Majumdar said that BJP is making false charges against the TMC.
“Our employees are not involved in such incidents. There have been incidents involving stray animals. Our party has no ties with any of them. The police are taking action,” said a TMC spokesperson.
