The CCTV footage is being looked for the bombing by the state police and the bomb squad is also investing the incident.
The same incident took place on September 8, around 6.30 in the morning, three men on a bike threw bombs at the MP’s house in Jagatdal, which is around 100 km from Kolkata. The MP was in Delhi at the time, but his family members were inside the house where no one got injured.
“The (state) government has arrived at the door with a bomb. Now, we have to do something in self-defence. Two months ago, a person in Nabanna was given the responsibility to have me killed,” Mr. Singh was quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
8 सितंबर को मेरे घर के सामने बम फेंके गए थे और आज सुबह घर के पीछे।
अपराधियों को कोई डर नहीं है क्योंकि उनको @AITCofficial और @WBPolice का संरक्षण प्राप्त है।
अपराधी खुले घूम रहे हैं, पुलिस तृणमूल की ‘दलदास’ बनी है।
ऐसे हमलों से ना कभी डरा था और न डरूँगा। @PMOIndia @HMOIndia pic.twitter.com/UIo6jd70HS
