After the incident, BJP workers in Habra staged a protest in front of the main gate of Habra police station, demanding immediate action against the culprits. A written complaint has been lodged at the Habra police station.
BJP’s Bhaskar also accused the Trinamool Congress of hurling bombs at his house and added that the BJP could not be stopped by intimidation. Trinamool has, however, denied the allegations.
Rejecting the claims, Trinamool Congress leader and Habra municipality municipal administrator Nilimesh Das said the BJP workers were carrying out the bombings to secure their tickets.
