KOLKATA: Another bomb explosion was reported outside the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Arjun Singh's home at Bhatpara in West Bengal on Tuesday morning.
The BJP MP claimed that members of the Trinamool Congress (TMC) were trying to take his life.
According to a police officer, at around 9.10am, bombs exploded on a vacant patch of land, which is just about 200 metres away from Singh's residence.
"We are investigating the matter. Our officers are there," he added.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday took over the probe into the incident on September 8, which left the gate at the BJP MP's residence partially damaged.
Singh alleged that it was an attack planned by the TMC to kill him, his family members and people close to him.
"This is nothing but a planned attack. The TMC is behind this... they are trying to kill me and my people. It's goondaraaj (lawlessness) in Bengal," Singh claimed.
The TMC's North 24 Parganas president, Partha Bhowmick, rubbished the allegations and said that the BJP MP was in some way or the other responsible for the explosions outside his home.
