Kolkata: Blast in local train, five injured

KOLKATA: A blast in a Krishnanagar bound local train from Sealdah early on Tuesday left five injured, two seriously.

Unofficial accounts, however, peg the number of injured to 17, with five serious. All injured have been admitted to R.G.Kar medical college hospital in Kolkata.

The incident took place at 3:55 am, when the train which left Sealdah was between Barrackpore and Titagarh railway stations. Preliminary probe suggests the train passengers were embroiled in an altercation with suspected miscreants when the blast took place.

Police, including RPF, Barrackpore and CID’s Bomb Squad are checking the train which has been halted at Barrackpore station.
