The Bharatiya Janata Party attacked the ruling Trinamool Congress in West Bengal in connection with the explosion at TMC leader Nurul Hasan Choudhury's residence in Khagragarh locality of Burdwan district. Some suspected Indian Mujahideen (IM) terrorists were killed while allegedly trying to make an IED.
The BJP said that the Mamata Banerjee government should explain its links with the suspects killed and why the evidence collected by the police was destroyed and not handed over to the National Investigation Agency.
The BJP accused the TMC government of providing safe haven to terrorists. "We can safely conclude that West Bengal under Mamata Banerjee's rule has become a safe haven for anti-national elements and jihadi activities," alleged BJP Secretary Siddharth Nath Singh.
Singh alleged that the Burdwan police instead of handing over to the NIA the materials recovered, took away the entire evidence and destroyed it.
"Why was the NIA informed almost a day late," he asked.
Meanwhile, the police have questioned the widows of the two suspects killed. The two women were detained along with a suspect who was critically injured in the blast on Thursday afternoon.
The CID of West Bengal police is looking into possible involvement of terror outfits like Lashkar-e-Toiba and Harkat-ul Jihadi al-Islami in the blast which left two suspected terrorists dead.
It is suspected that the victims of the explosion were associated with a terror outfit as a large number of watch dials, SIM cards, and other tools required to make improvised explosive devices were found in the house, police had said on Saturday.
