A blast incident took place in Kolkata, the capital of West Bengal on Saturday afternoon. A man named Bapi Das has been injured in an explosion near a garbage dump in Kolkata’s SN Banerjee area. His hand was injured in the blast. He is hospitalized, but how did the bomb reach a busy area like Taltala? The police have started its investigation. Meanwhile, BJP State President and Union Minister Sukant Majumdar has written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah demanding an NIA probe into the blast.
A person who claimed to be an eyewitness to the bomb blast said, “We were standing nearby when the blast occurred. “We immediately rushed to the spot and found a garbage collector nearby.”
He said that the person sustained an injury on his right wrist. The explosion was very loud. The police immediately reached here and took the injured person to the hospital. Traffic was blocked, but no one else was injured.
According to police sources, the name of the injured person is Bapi Das (58). He has been living on the footpath of SN Banerjee Road for the past few days. He was collecting paper in the area next to SS Banerjee Road. An explosion occurred while touching the sack.
How did the blast happen in an area like Taltala?
The OC of Taltala Police Station reached the spot on receiving the information about the explosion. The injured person was admitted to NRS Hospital. His right wrist was blown off. Meanwhile, the area was cordoned off. A bomb disposal squad was also called. They checked the spot, but after searching, the bomb disposal squad found nothing, but there has been a sensation as to how the bomb reached a populated area like Taltala.
There should be an NIA probe into the blast, BJP has demanded
Meanwhile, Union Minister Sukanth Majmudar has written a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah and demanded that the blast case be investigated by NIA. He said that I think there is a need for an investigation by the NIA. I don’t think the police have that kind of professionalism to investigate this incident and not only that it shows the failure of Mamata Banerjee as Home Minister.

He said that if this is the law and order situation in the state then the home minister should resign, hence the BJP is demanding his resignation which has completely failed to handle law and order.
“I request you to consider a detailed inquiry by NIA or any other central agency to ensure thorough investigation of all possible angles related to this incident,” the letter read.
