Bengal cops attacked with bombs when they raid suspect village |
Suri (WB), Oct. 24 (PTI): The officer-in-charge of Parui Police Station in Birbhum district was injured on Friday when bombs were hurled at a police team that had raided a village after it was informed that bombs were being manufactured there. OC Prosenjit Dutta has been admitted to the intensive care unit of Suri Hospital with splinter injuries. Ananda Roy, the Additional Superintendent of Police, Birbhum district, said that a strong police contingent led by the OC had raided Chakmondola village and seized bombs. As the alleged bomb-makers escaped soon after the police team arrived, some people threw bombs and brickbats at the police team, injuring the OC and three other policemen. The police are searching the area. No arrest had been made yet. The OC told reporters that the police team went to the village on being tipped off and that the villagers threw the bombs. ”We had information and went there to seize bombs and we recovered some. The raid was continuing. Bombs were hurled at us,” he said. |

NIA Director General Sharad Kumar on Friday took stock of the progress in the investigation in the Burdwan blast case.
Kumar arrived here this morning and left for Burdwan where he met NIA investigators and assessed the progress in the probe into the blast at Khagragarh in Burdwan town on October 2 that claimed the lives of two suspected terrorists of Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen Bangladesh.
Three persons, including two women – one of them the widow of a suspected terrorist who died in the blast, had been interrogated by NIA.
Taking over the probe of the blast following a directive by the Union Home Ministry, the National Investigation Agency (NIA) had secured custody of Hasem Molla alias Badru Alam Molla, Razia Bibi and Alima Bibi on October 13.
A three-member NIA team had also visited the blast site on Sunday to look into allegations that an office of the ruling Trinamool Congress was located there.
Kumar visited the blast site. He inspected the house where the blast took place, examined the rooms and went to the terrace of the building.
After spending about 30 minutes, he went to visit another house at nearby Mathpara on Badsahi Road where 40 improvised hand grenades were found.
NIA investigators during a search operation with Burdwan district police found the Improvised Explosive Devices from this house of Rezaul Karim.
The police said that the NIA Director General later set out for Beldanga in Murshidabad district to visit the house where one of the dead terrorist Shakil stayed on a rent.
