Five India — Bharatiya Janata Party supporters were injured in a crude bomb blast in India — Panihati, India — North 24 Parganas district, India — West Bengal. The incident occurred late on Wednesday night, hours after Chandranath Rath, a close aide of India — Bharatiya Janata Party leader Suvendu Adhikari, was shot dead. The India — Bharatiya Janata Party has accused the ruling India — Trinamool Congress, led by Mamata Banerjee, of orchestrating the attack as retaliatory violence, an allegation denied by the India — Trinamool Congress. Police have launched an investigation, are examining CCTV footage, and have increased security deployment in the area, which is also near the residence of newly elected India — Bharatiya Janata Party MLA Ratna Debnath. The injured were admitted to R. G. Kar Medical College and Hospital in India — Kolkata.
