Earlier, West Bengal Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Arjun Singh has alleged that around 50-60 people attacked his house in North 24 Parganas district on Wednesday night.
Speaking to ANI, Singh accused the police of not taking any action on the incident, claiming that the incident occurred in front of them. Singh also alleged that two bombs were thrown at his house.
However, security forces were later deployed at his house following the alleged attack.
"I don't understand what's happening. On 4 October also, Namit Singh, Saddam and his team attacked here. They threw bombs, and I got injured. Today, around 10:20 pm, we heard a gunfire... By the time we went outside to inspect, 50-60 people were already at the location, including the Police. When we got back, we saw that two bombs had been thrown at my house. One burst, and the other is still live ammunition. Namit Singh, Saddam Ansari, and Prem, along with 50-60 other people, are involved in this... Namit Singh is just a scapegoat... There's no Police action (on these attacks). This incident happened in front of them..." the BJP leader told ANI. (ANI)
