The MP Arjun Singh was not present in his house when the explosion happened, he was apparently in Delhi. His family members were living inside the house located in Jagatdal. So far, there has been no report of any injury says the media reports.
In the 2019 general election, the ruling Trinamool Congress Party (TMC) was defeated by Singh in Bengal to win the Barrackpore constituency. Whereas last October, Singh’s close associate Manish Shukla was gunned down in Titagarh.
